Maple1, what you describe sounds like bindweed. Look it up in the Dirt Doctor Library section to see pictures. It is horribly invasive and has gotten much worse in north central Texas the last few years. But I sure would NOT use anything that would kill the grass just to get rid of bindweed. That would be like burning a building down to get rid of roaches, in my opinion, because once the grass is dead, there sure wouldn't be anything to slow down the bindweed, which loves bare bad soil. Personally, I don't want a yard with nothing green but bindweed. LOL. The healthy part of our yard where we've consistently used cornmeal, molasses, green sand & lava sand mixture since 2001 has no bindweed or fire ants. The other areas where we have not improved the soil yet has bindweed and lots of fire ants.
