re: Stickers in Lawn

Ok guys we have several spots in lawn that are full of stickers. How do I rid lawn of them without hurting lawn? Appreciate any help!

Pre-emergent sometime in October should do the trick for next year. But short of directly spraying herbicide on them, your window for this year is closed.

I didn't do it last year because I was afraid it would weaken a drought-stressed lawn. Almost all of my St. Augustine died and I've been bombing the yard the past few weeks with bermuda seed and just over a pound of nitrogen per 1,000 sq ft. It's starting to look good if not for those little patches of stickers.

If we don't get an extreme drought this year, I'll hit the yard with a pre-emergent in October and again probably in February.
