You could spray them with 1/2 warm water, 1/2 vinegar, and an ounce or two of salt per cup of liquid. Shake the mixture up in a spray bottle. Get on your knees and spray the violets where they are thick. The mixture can always kill the grass, too, but killing an invasive wildflower is worth waiting a while on new grass. When new violets start to come back, don’t let them grow until they seed. Pull them up viciously until they are destroyed. Have fun! ☺️

Here is another way of looking at violets! They are difficult to erradicate and you don't want to be spraying poisons so learn to appreciate them.
