I've never been able to get rid of them forever, Richard, but there are some things that will help. Put down landscape fabric and a good layer of mulch. A product called 'Preen' is something else you can try.
No such thing. Sorry. Hand pulling and mulch will slow it down.
Put down weed barrier

The Truth About Natural Weed Killer Exposed
Been seeing using black plastic mulch. Plus it warms up the soil for the stuff u want to grow! Plus it will smoother out the grass and weeds u don't want!
Here's a tutorial that might help https://chascrazycreations.com/home-made-weed-killers/
Hi Richard, Hope this helps, mix 1 cup of salt. 1 tablespoon of dish soap. 1 gallon of vinegar, pour into a spray bottle and spray weeds. Be careful not to spray plants that you love. Put down landscape fabric or newspaper on the areas where you have nothing planted to suppress weed growth.
It is so simple but it can work a treat. Boil some tap water in a kettle and once ready pour it directly on the crown of your weeds. Larger weeds may take three or four applications in order to stop coming back but this is a low cost and hassle free solution worth giving a try. Just be sure to wear adequate protection clothing so that the scolding hot water doesn’t splash back onto your feet, legs and/or hands. Some people have actually seen this method work better than the vinegar method, give it a shot!
Pour boiling water on them, it kills to the root.
