How do I get rid of "sandspurs"?
I live in Central Fla. & have sandspurs in my grass on a whole acre. You cannot go barefoot plus they hurt my dogs feet.
i've tried many things and am now digging them up to get the roots. It way to much work!

They’ll eat anything that grows,so fence them in the area you want. You might be able to rent them and they fence them in.not sure on the cost though.
The best way is to just pull them out- roots and all. Remove all the burrs as these will seed again. It takes a while to get rid of them. Weed killers really don't work unless you apply them before the seeds emerge. The seeds will continue to sprout even after the plant is dead. Easier just to pull them. I had them all over my property, and now only find 1 or 2 now and then.
As a native Floridian, The "keep pulling them out" advice is the only way it has worked for me.
Fertilize and keep it mowed. Mow as soon as they bloom. That is how it works in Texas with grass burs.
Pour hot water directly on the roots and they won't come back
