Its not easy! And you can't slack off after the first elimination because they will come back from seeds. In the flower bed, mulch 2-3" deep. In flower bed and on lawn brush weed killer on the leaves. Do NOT let them bloom and set seed because they will spread even more. You have to get rid of new growth as soon as you see it, and after a couple of seasons you should prevail.

  Thank you so much for your response. I'm going to be more diligent in spraying and pulling it up at the first sighting of that irritating weed

We have this problem and every month we would go out and pull them up by the Roots I cannot think of any other way

Dig, dig, then dig some more . . . Or point and pay . . .
