only solution is to dig it out,you cannot use anything to kill t or it will kill your plants
I wish my house plants had the persistence of bermuda grass which is very hard to kill!! It spreads by seeds above ground and rhizomes below. It has very deep roots that grow through the hardest clay. These characteristics are the very thing that makes it difficult to control. The best way to get rid of it is to take the infested area out of circulation for a full twelve months. Cover the area with a good quality thick opaque plastic. The lack of sunlight combined with high soil temperatures will kill the bermuda grass it covers. You can then remove the plastic and plant your garden. The grass around the periphery will begin to invade the area you just killed and so you must be vigilant and diligent to dig all the runners and rhizomes out.
