It's the worst. Pulling it out or cutting only helps spread it, I believe.

But it's a good time to tackle it before summer sets in.

Here's one article:

Either your yard is overrun with Mexicans or they can take care of problem. Either way, Mexicans.

Went according to the LSU agriculture page linked. Got some ortho Max southern lawn weed killer, or 2d, 4d as mentioned earlier. I'm impatient so I just finished spraying my back yard. Supposedly doesn't kill grass (we'll see) so bought a bag of Scott's southern lawn food with the southern weed and feed in it. If this doesn't work I'm going scorched earth rock garden. Front yard hasn't been affected thankfully so my mower will still serve a purpose.
