Kikuyu in bermuda


Question
I've got a GN-1 hybrid bermuda lawn. Some Kikuyu is starting to show.  I'm assuming that it is blowing in from neighbors yard.  Any way to get rid of it without resorting to hands and knee work or roundup?  Thanks.

Answer
As far as I can tell, kikuyu is a grass (Pennisetum spp). This group of grasses contains some the hardest-to-control species in my experience. So, your problem is to eradicate a tough grass weed out of a grass crop. Sadly, I cannot offer any easy method. In your place I would seek the help of a commercial lawn service. I know when I am "up against it".
