I use a cocktail of tenacity and Sedgehammer. Still takes 2 applications (or more). Hate this weed!
All I heard was a straight faced mention of a “nutlet.”
What’s wrong with this grass? I have some growing in my compost pile?

It is the most evil of grasses.

Thanks for the picture, accidentally grew a yard of nutsedge last year. I think it was cause I didn’t do any research on growing grass and just pulled up my dirt yard, destroying the nutsedge that was there and unearthing new seeds. I spent the summer spraying sedgehammer and it’s mostly gone , and now that I’ve researched how to grow grass properly, I have some Bermuda growing. But it’s tempting to pull out the new nutsedge sprouts since I can’t spray killer on my baby grass. Those damn nutlets!
I’m fairly sauced and thought those were scorpions lol.
Are there weeds that look super similar that are fine to pull? North of Dallas and I pull what I believe to be nutsedge and it works like a charm.

Can’t speak to anything really similar, but the nutlets can live in the soil for up to 5ish years and will most likely return in heavy rain. They love a lot of water.
@Casey
They do pop up after rain but it’s always manageable. Hm…
Nutsedge is a major ag pest as well.
The main technique for eradication in ag is a technique called soil fumigation. They’ll essentially pump broad spectrum fumigants (metam, chloropicrin, and/or 1-3 dichloropropene) to kill weed seeds and other pests. The right mix of the three, at the right rate, under the right conditions works really well against nutsedge. However, if the rate is too low, you’ll actually germinate the tubers, a process called scarification. Occasionally, I’d see a field that didn’t get the rate right, and it looks like a lawn of nutsedge emerging.
Generic tenacity on Amazon search Torocity…
Works like a champ… cost effective.
If you pull it enough times they eventually don’t grow back 
. At least that’s how it worked for me. Granted this was just a small portion of my small front lawn. But I would pull out any nutsedge I would see every time I walked past. Eventually they stopped growing back.
I’ll probably go the sedge hammer route the next time though.
I like the exercise.
Tenacity works well.
