Get rid of Bahia grass

[Rickh606]

Anyone know of a way, short of spending hours on my hands and knees pulling Bahia out of my Bermuda grass lawn?

I am cutting some that is in centipede that we are experimenting with. What we are doing is cutting it at 3" on a regular basis. Can't say about Bermuda grass but what we are seeing in the Centipede is that we are keeping the Bahia cut back but allowing the centipede to flourish and it is crowding the Bahia out. Many folks try to cut it as close as possible to the ground thinking they can go longer without cutting it. All they are doing is allowing it to choke out the desirable grasses by doing that or it appears to be that way from what we are seeing.
