What’s the best way to get rid of these stickers?

it's too late for that now

First year in a new house and I definitely learned my lesson for next year.

I'm never missing a winter premergent application again.

That’s a bad case of lawn burweed as stated. And also stated use either MSM Turf or Celsius now for control at current air temperatures.

And you need to use pre-emergent this fall to mitigate this problem. According to LSU AgCenter publication Simazine may be best pre-emergent to target Lawn Burweed. Lawn Burweed

Mature burweed is difficult to kill, it will die on its own this summer as it’s an annual winter weed.

Next winter, Jan & Feb, you need to look carefully for the small, emerging seedlings, look like little parsley plants, then spray the lawn with the winter weed cocktail (atrazine + weed free zone combo), they are much easier to kill when young/small, and you won’t have nearly the issue you have now.

Here's a little more info from Dan Gill w/ the Ag Center...

Controlling Burrweed in Lawns

Thank you all.

those things are the devil

i had none in my yard but after construction due to hurricane damage a 25 x 12 section of grass died under the old sheet metal roofing and several spots in front yard where debris piles were. basically, everywhere the grass died those stickers sprouting in its place overnight as soon as the sunlight could reach the dirt again. now im not sure how or where it came from but there was never a sticker in my yard in the last 15 years i owned it and i never did anything to treat the yard so its not from lack of doing something that suddenly my whole yard is full of it

Sprayed msms this past weekend to try and knock it back.

I never had these until this year, and they came up everywhere. Luckily got on them early with the Winter cocktail and knocked the bulk of them out. They were in my beds and lawn with a vengeance
