Best I have found
This is the only chemical that I have found to work. It does not harm the Bermuda. The only negative is that it is expensive and needs to be in a concentrate.

Works Quickly to Kill Sedge Not Lawn
Worked faster than I thought. I applied it to the yellow nutsedge in the lawn and thought it would take 2 to 3 weeks to work, but the sedge started to die and brown up within 2 days. I will watch it to determine if it needs another application. There was too much to pull out manually and this made me try this herbicide.

Nutsedge Killing Champ
Nutsedge is one tricky week to kill. I have tried all sorts of herbicides to kill it with limited to no effect, It always came back. I spray Ortho Nutsedge Killer at the first sign of the stuff and it is gone for the season. Must come from my neighbors yard. Harmless to my Kentucky Blue Grass and Hostas. As always read the instructions, this is harmful to some grasses.

Works great on fescue!
This kills the nutsedge perfectly, not the fescue lawn. It did take a week to completely turn brown, but this maybe due to the inconsistent wet/dry weather in the area. Great product and I'll use it again!

Highly recommend
The only thing I’ve ever found that WORKS!! I live in western Oklahoma and have beautiful green lush Bermuda grass. This product kills the nut grass starting in a day or two after spraying, and never sets my grass back any at all. This is the 2nd year I’ve used it and I’m thrilled with the results

Outstanding!
Absolutely smoked my nutsedge! By the end of the second day, all the nut grass was down and turning brown. I have Celebration Bermuda and it did not yellow it at all. I am sure that the 95 degree + temps was responsible for the quick action, and I know some will come back, but I will just re-treat when it does. I let the Celebration grow out to 1" so the nutsedge would have a chance to get tall before treating. I will mow tonight after 3 days back to 1/2", and see if any new stuff sprouts

I've had great results over several years.
I've used Ortho Nutsedge Killer for several years. I use the small hand-held spray bottle and spray individual spots cropping up in my Bermuda lawn. Always works and never had a problem.

It Works!
After only a few days of using Ortho Nutsedge Killer those fast-growing shiny plants invading our lawn turned brown and withered. Very satisfied.
