Since wiregrass is also a species of Bermudagrass, there is not a product available that would selectively remove it and not harm you Bermudagrass lawn. In this case it would be best to very carefully spot treat the wiregrass with a non-selective herbicide like RoundUp QuikPro, and reseed the desirable Bermuda in those areas as soon as 14 days after an application.
No, using Dawn Dish Soap in place of a Non Ionic Surfactant with Fusilade II Herbicide would not be recommended as this is off label usage and not advised per the manufacturer or DoMyOwn.com. The use of dish soap will also foam up in the tank sprayer and cause difficuties to apply the herbicide effectively.
We recommend reaching out directly to the manufacturer of Fusilade II Herbicide for advise on helping to rid your washing machine of the scent of the product. Syngenta can be contacted by either calling 1-866-796-4368, or by visiting their website's contact page here.
We are not familiar with the specific RoundUp you will be mixing as well as a product called cavalier. Please provide details on both items for further information regarding tank mixing.
It is recommended to wait 14 days following an application of Fusilade II Herbicide to reseed/seed desirable grasses on established turf. For bare ground areas which have been treated, wait 30 days to reseed/seed.
Please view the product label for more information.
Fusilade is not labeled to treat Spanish Needle. Most folks use Glyphosate based products to target this hard to kill weed. The article here explains eradication in detail.
Fusilade II Herbicide is not labeled to kill Sorrel, it only use to control grassy weeds.
Fusilade II Herbicide can be tank mixed with other herbicides on certain turfgrasses listed on the label. Follow the Tank Mixing instructions on the product label and we suggest doing small compatibility test first in a glass jar to ensure the products will mix together.
Fusilade II Herbicide will not suppress or control zoysiagrass. Hi Yield Triclopyr Ester, or the ingredient Triclopyr in general, is a commonly used herbicide to kill bermuda and zoysia in a cool season lawn such as fescue.
Ideally, zoysia is best controlled when it's in the transition state from dormant to green up, or green to dormant. Summer is when zoysia thrives so you will have a harder time controlling it during these months.
Fusilade II Herbicide can be applied over-the-top of bird of paradise plants without causing harm. Please review the product label for application instructions.
Performing an application of Fusilade II with a hand held pump sprayer will ensure a more precise mixture than using a hose end sprayer. It can be applied to residential areas per the product label. Please refer to the product table for specific dilution ratios. Usage chart for spot treatments:

10 gallons water + 6.5 fl oz Fusilade + 3 oz surfactant

Fusilade II Herbicide is labeled to suppress/control common bermudgrass in zoysiagrass. It should NOT be applied in July or August. Apply 0.07-0.14 oz/1000 sq. ft. (3-6 oz./A) along with 0.25% v/v (1/2 pt./25 gals.) of a nonionic surfactant. Application should be made every 28 days when the grass weeds are actively growing. Please refer to product label for full application instructions.
Fusilade II Herbicide will harm Kentucky Bluegrass.
Bermuda can be suppressed, but it is very difficult to kill completely. It will take multiple treatments to finally kill it. Fusilade II is applied at 0.07-0.14 oz/1,000 sq. ft. (3-6 oz./A) along with 0.25% v/v (1/2 pt./25 gals.) of a nonionic surfactant and should be made every 28 days when the grass weeds are actively growing. The higher rates may result in temporary discoloration of the desirable turf with recovery in 10-14 days. Do not apply to desirable turf which is under stress. For best results, make applications in spring and fall and avoid treatments during July and August. Complete control of undesirable grass may take 1-2 growing seasons. We also recommend calling your local county extension office as they usually know the optimum times for spraying lawns in your area.
Fusilade II Herbicide only controls bermudagrass in zoysia so it would not be recommended for torpedograss, it can injure zoysia if used at too high of rates. Drive XLR8 is labeled to kill torpedo grass in zoysia. However, it will typically require at least 2 applications at 21 day intervals. Please read the product label for complete instructions on treating torpedograss. Be sure you use an MSO surfactant such as Prime Source Duo Stick for best results with Drive XLR8 as directed.
Fusilade II Herbicide is not applied to lawns and is a grass killer that will not control sedge. Sedgehammer is only applied to listed, established lawns for nutsedge. They should be applied to listed areas on the label at listed rates separately.
Fusilade II Turf and Ornamental herbicide is not specifically labeled for Loropetalum and Walter Viburnum. You can find the full list of tolerable species here.
