Get rid of Bahia Grass

I want to get rid of Bahia Grass is it possible?

I live in South East Texas and have a mostly Bahia Grass.

This year I am trying the mow as high as I can for the garden paths etc. The grass its self grows slow.
The seed head grow up to 24 inches in a few days. My wife hates it because when walking thru the garden the seed heads tickle here legs and you don't know if it is a snake ha ha. I have to mow these areas often.

If this is a grass that I did not want I would cut in very short, especially if:

All the sources that I read seem to encourage planting this grass because it is drought resistant.  Maybe it is getting too much water?

This grass is low-growing and creeping with stolons and stout, scaly rhizomes. The stolons are pressed firmly to the ground and root freely from the internodes, forming a dense sod.
