Unless the label says it will not harm your lawn, Roundup will kill the Bermuda grass, try using Weed B Gone, it will not harm your lawn, but keep away it from desirable plants. Answer 1 is not incorrect, as RoundUp is a systemic herbicide, and will damage or kill your Bermuda, IF IT COMES IN CONTACT WITH [GETS ON] it. However, if you very carefully use a technique used by farmers, you can get away with using RoundUp. As the wild onions grow much taller than your Bermuda, if you saturate [but not to the point of dripping off] an old disposable towel [rolled around an old disposable broom or mop handle] with RoundUp, and then "wipe" the onion tops with it, then the RoundUp will get only on the onions, be absorbed into the leaves, and will systemically kill them. Due to the limited amount involved, and the metabilism of most of the product within the onions, there should be no killing of your Burmuda. It is critical however that you not allow even the smallest droplet of the RoundUp to CONTACT your Bermuda.j3h. Answer 3
if you want to protect your lawn use selective herbisides like 2,4-D which will kill broad leaf weeds and do absolutly nothing to your lawn indeed selective herbicides would work but he is trying to kill wild ONION which is NOT a broad leaf weed and would not be harmed by 2,4 D at all.

How do you get rid of wire grass on your lawn?
Wire Grass can be a pretty invasive weed. Unfortunately, there is no selective way to kill wire grass in your lawn. The best thing to do is to use ready to use Roundup and spot treat the wire grass. Once the wire grass is dead you can plant grass seed in any bare areas left by the dead wire grass. You have to be careful using Roundup in lawns because it kills all grass, so just spot treat the wire grass.

It's difficult to get rid of and tends to take over lawns especially if they are weak and sparsely grassed. Digging it out is one option using a knife or mattock. The other is using glyphosphate (Roundup). Also talk to your nursery because I'm not an expert in this area.
