    I can kill just about anything with equal parts: white vinegar, dish detergent and table salt. Apply a few drops near the roots or center of the plant. Won't hurt dogs of chickens. Takes about 2 days.

    this is an annual, so the flowers are producing seeds every year. Because it's so extensive in your yard right now, I think professional - or a willing kid in the neighborhood who will pull them all - eradication needs to be done for starters. Then, as new plants spring up from the seeds, try to pull them. If you miss some, pick off the flowers so they can't go to seed.

    It may take a few times to completely kill it off but you can try using boiling water. It has worked for me on many hard to kill plants, weeds.
