MsM or Trimec herbicides tank mixed with Atrazine will take care of your burweed problem!
Lawn burweed or “sticker weed” is a winter annual that germinates in October and grows all winter long. Next April, it produces the burs that are capsules that contain burweed seed. To avoid the stickers in the spring, you must treat lawn burweed during fall and winter.
For lawns plagued with stickers, the recommended practice is to make an application of both pre-emergent herbicides in the fall followed by a post-emergent herbicide in the winter. The plant becomes highly difficult to control once the burs are formed. View our publication for control practices: https://tinyurl.com/LawnBurweed
