Monkey Grass

Question

I have an abundant amount of monkey grass in my lawn. This hinders me from mowing my lawn because it forms a clump and bogs my mower. Is there anything I can apply to the monkey grass to get rid of it?

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 to keep other weeds from moving into those spots until they fill in.
