Bermuda taken over by clover

My Bermuda lawn has been taken over by clover.
I put down pre-emergent a few weeks ago.
Is there anything I can do now to get rid of this clover?

The pre-emergent you just put out is for summer weeds that are just now germinating due to warmer ground temps, not what is showing up right now in your lawn. Buy some Ferti-lome weed free zone and it should do a good job of killing your broadleaf issue. It's safe on Bermuda.

Do this and add surfactant to the herbicide-water solution.

Fertilizer. Clover thrives in low nitrogen soil. Up the nitrogen and it will be easy to kill off.

Spray with weed master. Will be dead by afternoon. Will not hurt the Bermuda.

It’s just this time of year. It dies out as it gets hot.

What? Clover fixates nitrogen--what makes you think adding nitrogen is going to kill it?
Clover can "thrive" anywhere as long as the pH and drainage are right. It has little to do with nitrogen levels in the soil. Nitrogen is possibly the most ephemeral of all soil nutrients, which is why conventional soil tests don't attempt to measure it. The only true measure of of nitrogen content of soil is a plant tissue sample.

Nitrogen will not kill it. Fertilizing soil properly will make the grass more healthy and the clover less healthy. Will be easier to kill with 24-d or whatever.

2-4-D or weed master and it will be dead by the afternoon. Use MSMA for killing grass or junk weeds, weedmaster for broadleaf. Fertilize with 13-13-13 and you can’t go wrong. Light doses of roundup will not even kill Bermuda grass. It’s a very tough grass to kill once it’s established.

I don't know what makes a lawn any different than a pasture, because there is no such phenomenon in pastures. Legumes, like clovers, just won't go through the nitrogen fixation cycle as often if you apply nitrogen fertilizer.
Proper fertility doesn't kill or weaken plants, although it may favor one over the other in a given season. Clover is a cool season species, while Bermuda is a warm season. Proper fertility is not going to make the clover go away in favor of the Bermuda. The heat of the summer will, though.

MSMA ill kill it but you got to wait for temps to rise.
MSMA will kill just about everything except for thin bladed grasses like bermuda and zoysia.
