Virginia Buttonweed

Purchased a new to me home in Aug 2020. I've not dealt with weed control yet due to other priorities. It's obvious that the former homeowners did put much effort on weed control.
Have a bad case of Virginia Buttonweed and there are plenty of other types of weeds in the backyard (some dollarweed and other unknowns). St. AUG grass in Houston area.
I'm thinking about trying Celsius and spot treating the VBweed for now. I'll spot treat other areas/weeds with this as well. I've not used Celsius in the past, but this seems like the best option.
Thoughts or recommendations? Should I use a surfactant with this approach? What surfactant do you recommend?

You’ll need the surfactant to break through the waxy coating on the dollar weeds. Or use dawn as I do. Weed free zone knocked back my VBW but I expect to continue to spray as it ain’t no over night thing..

You have the right herbicide to use for VBW, etc. this time of year, Celsius, or MSM Turf is good as well, and to get the most benefit from those herbicides, yes use surfactant (I.e., spreader/sticker). You can find this at most retail garden centers, hardware stores, but not the big box stores.

Welcome to the struggle. It was so bad in my backyard that when I killed it I had no grass left so it was a till, regrade, resod process. Front wasn’t as bad bc it drains a little better. However, Celsius and surfactant work well. Just takes a little time for it to die and it’s an ongoing war.

Prayers sent. Hard to totally eradicate this stuff.
