I have this grass in my back yard that I think looks like Bermuda mixed in with various weeds. Looking for someone to confirm if it actually is or not before I take on the project of trying to control the weeds and get the Bermuda to take over. Thanks.

Looks to be st aug but curious where you live. If St Aug, kill all weeds and loosen top soil. It'll spread nicely

Edit: If you notice it "spreading" like it is vine-like you'll know for sure

It's torpedo or bermuda. That looks like it was mowed recently. Where is that located in the yard? Do you have any in the flower bed.

That's correct I took this picture right after I mowed. It's located off the end of my driveway in my back yard. Not near my house or any of my landscaping. I'm in Thibodaux if that helps any.

It could be a common bermuda but I'm leaning towards torpedo. If it has grown several inches in a couple days then I will say a prayer for you.

Oh damn that's not good lol. It'll grow a couple inches in a week or so but not a couple days. Is there anything I could maybe spot spray in a small area that would kill torpedo but not bermuda to confirm which one it is?

Pull it before you mow and post that picture.
