This is the first year I've ever had a problem with stickers in the yard. My neighbor says the same thing. I'm not sure where they're coming from or why, but it doesn't matter. What's the best chemical for killing these things and leaving the grass intact?

Atrazine, but if you spray it this late and have Bermuda grass it will smoke it too. I spray my stickers in March, before the Bermuda comes out.

Manually pull up the weeds.

Atrizine granules. Water really good afterward.

I am trying to get rid of them myself. I have been reading up on it and was told to fertilize your yard really good and let the grass smother it. I can tell this is going to be a slow process. My grass is growing like a champ but I can still tell for it to smother it out it is going to take a while. I just didn't want to spray something that could also possibly kill my grass too. I have a St. Augustine yard and I am thinking about transplanting a few patches in the spots that have mostly stickers to make the grass smother it out quicker.

If its already sticking you its too late. You have to spray em early in the spring when they are green. I get with 2-4D or triclopyr

Are talking about Sand Spurs? If so, and this is the first year you've had em,( the infestation can't be that bad)just follow the runners back to their root, then pull the runners back to their source and pull them up by the roots.
