Wire Grass...

[JQLC]

I live in Southern Delaware and we are cursed with wire grass. Some call it Bermuda grass and its genus name is "Eleusine indica" It is tha grass that grows EVERYWHERE and is very difficult to control. Any Suggestions as how to rid the lawn of this crap? All suggestions are welcomed and appreciated.

2 applications of round-up a 3-4 of weeks apart when growing. It is not fun.
