Hi Heather, I find my yard is more likely to see stickers when it gets real dry and in the places where the soil is poorer quality. I'm wondering if a weed and feed and some watering wouldn't do a bunch of good to help your situation.
We dig ours out. So far so good. Stay safe and well!
Eliminating the weeds is step one. I never walk barefoot.
Here is a post https://www.nola.com/entertainment_life/home_garden/article_d7a4435f-cbc6-5dd5-8b41-814c328d5111.html
It is the seed pods that cause problems as they produce sharp spines as they mature. The spines on the pods can painfully puncture feet when walked on barefooted.
Once the spiny seed pods have formed, there is nothing you can do to alleviate the problem. So, it's really too late to deal with this weed this year.
Here's how to make sure you don't have a problem next spring. A two-prong approach will work best when controlling burweed or sticker weed. The first effort is preemptive and involves the use of a preemergence herbicide or weed preventer. A preemergence herbicide is applied before the seeds start germinating in the fall, and it kills the seeds as they germinate.
Early application before seeds germinate is critical. Apply the preemergence herbicide in early October following label directions. Looks for products such as Sta-Green Crab-Ex, Green Light Crabgrass Preventer 2, Hi-Yield Turf and Ornamental Weed and Grass Stopper, Scotts Halts and other brands at your local nursery. (Ask the staff to help you select the proper product.) That's the first line of attack.
Then, look over your lawn very carefully in December, January and February. If you see any young plants that managed to get by the preemergence herbicide application, spray the lawn with a lawn weed killer like Weed B Gon, Weed Free Zone, Atrazine or other brands at your local nursery. If needed, you could make a second application following label directions. That's your second line of attack.

Hi Heather. I had a sticker problem a few years back. I discovered that the seed mix I used in my bird feeders had thistle seeds mixed in. The thistle seeds grow into a sticker weed. I dug the stickers out by hand because I wanted to pull the roots out too. Now my husband puts Scott's weed and feed down and we haven't seen the stickers again. Good luck Heather.
Hi Heather, yes we all love to walk in the grass without getting stuck. I hope this helps you.

I would dig them out or twist and pull to get the root bulb out.
We've actually gone around our yard and dug up each one. A huge pain initially - but then they are gone for good.
