I have a lawn that is on a small lake that drains into a stream that empties into the reservoir that is our water supply. Anything I put on the lawn, I drink a week later. Also we have geese that raise their goslings on our lawn in the spring. So I am very careful about what chemicals I put on it. Consequently, I have a nice weed patch which looks like a lawn when I mow it. With our recent dry conditions, I have one of the few green lawns left in the neighborhood.
I think that if it took two years for the Bermuda grass to return, then you DID kill off the roots. But, there is nothing to keep it from re-seeding from other sources later. All it takes is a neighbor with some Bermuda, and the seeds will find a way.
