Yes, lespedeza should be on the label.
Google:

Metsulfuron-containing compounds (Topshot, MSM Turf, Manor, Blindside) provide good to excellent control of common lespedeza. Early applications of atrazine- containing compounds (Bonus S with atrazine, AAtrex, and others) may also provide acceptable control of common lespedeza.

I've been told that VB can be spread house-to-house by lawn services. The guy I used to use started blowing off the underside of his mower after each cut. Is there any truth to this story?

VBW can reproduce-spread 4 ways - above ground seeds (white flowers), below ground seeds, above ground stolons, below ground rhizomes - that’s a major reason its is so difficult to control.

If a lawn is cut close to the ground on a wet day, I could see above ground seeds & stolons sticking to the underside of a mower - is there any evidence of this - I don’t know.

My VBW is doing a number on my lespedeza, that’s one way to get rid of it.
