How can you remove millet from the lawn?

Remove millet

– Millet should ideally be removed by hand before it produces seeds
– The sooner it is removed, the lower the risk of further spread
– In cases of very severe infestation, a total herbicide may be necessary
→ However, this measure should only be used as a last resort, since it will also kill the desired grass species.

Preventing millet

With proper lawn care, millet can be effectively controlled or prevented:

– Scarify in the fall and spring to reduce bare spots and thatch
– Then reseed the lawn so that the grass quickly becomes thick again
– Mow the lawn regularly to promote a thick lawn
– Avoid waterlogging, as millet prefers moist, compacted soil
