How to Kill Monkey Grass

Question

Monkey grass has spread to my yard. How can I kill it without killing my St. Augustine grass?

Answer 1

There is no weed killer that will kill monkey grass but not turf grass. You can spot treat the monkey grass with Round-up and a spray shield to kill it that way or hand dig it out, but you will have bare spots in your lawn for a bit that you will need to watch in order to keep other weeds from moving into those areas until they fill in.
