    If you want to control the Broad leaf weeds, the second picture, you can use a broad leaf weed killer. The grasses, top picture, will need a better picture to identity them and recommend a way to control them.

    They're green. You aren't going to notice them unless you look hard. Why do anything at all?

    There are broadleaved weeds in the first pic as well. If you enlarge the photo, you can see multiple clumps with 4 leaves. Although it may possibly be Japanese stiltgrass seedlings.....I have just never seen any in person to say for certain :-)

    As a general statement, the problem with broad leaf weeds is they force out the grass around them ie the dandelion family, and if not control can lead to large bare spots in your yard. As stated above the one in the OP yard can be mowed and not be apparent at this stage

    I use , Tiger Brand Brush Killer. I get it at Ag Supply (Raleigh NC), However I have seen the brand in other stores.


    I purchased it to kill poison ivy, but it works on broad leafs also.


    I purchase the concentrate, and apply the diluted solution using a gallon pressure sprayer.

    Using this it can be applied precisely to the broad leaf.plant. or poison ivy

    Thanks @krnuttle, will it work safely on bermuda lawn?😅

    That I don't know. I have a mixture of wild and tame grasses in my yard.

    "will it work safely on bermuda lawn?"

    No! the active ingredient in this product is triclopyr and triclopyr is used to control or suppress bermuda grass.

    Brush killer is probably overkill for this situation anyway. All you need is a broadleaf lawn weed killer safe for use on Bermuda. Something with dicamba, 2, 4-d and quinclorac. Or Tenacity, which can be used as both a pre- and post-emergent lawn weed herbicide.
