How do you eradicate centipede grass?

Answer by  Kia97 (20)

There are herbicides that can kill it. "Roundup" might work, but ask your local garden shop for suggestions. It also can't survive boiling water on the roots.

If the weedy patches aren't too numerous manually eradicate them. If you have a real invasion on your hands then you will have to use a herbicide. It is best to use the herbicide when the weeds are young and under four inches in height.

The best way to deal with this is to weed out centipede grass manually as herbicides will kill other types of grass and so leave bare patches in the lawn.
