There any many roads to Dallas, but one of the best approaches for weed control in warm season grasses, even in the heat of summer, with the cheapest cost per application, is:
In the Bermuda Triangle, you'll want:
1) A good pre-emergent like Prodiamine [Label] or Dithiopyr [Label].
2) Certainty for sedges. [Label] (Use the Marketplace forum and split Outrider for more savings.)
3) Celsius for all the rest. [Label]. Try buying it here, here, here, or here.
That's it. There are no temperature restrictions on any of the items listed in the Bermuda Triangle.
4) Get a decent sprayer wand to apply the chemicals.
5) Use a $10 gram scale to weigh out your doses.
6) Apply off brand RoundUp: glyphosate [Label] with a paint brush on anything that survives the Triangle, or use Precision Gel.
Depending on how large your lawn is and how bad your infestations are, the price per app with these chemicals is much cheaper than big box store options. That's really all you need. Eventually, your weed pressure will drop so far you can give your leftover herbicides to a friend or neighbor.
The initial investment is steep, but will pay for itself in time, while allowing you to put down less chemicals and have fewer weeds than with hose end applications from box stores.
