[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 4120207, member: 5412"] The issue with using MSMA is that it kills everything but bermuda grass, so if you have shaded areas with fescu, you don't want to use MSMA. It's going to take awhile to get rid of them because the seeds from previous years will still be active and produce new plants. Several things one can do. You can treat the lawn with pre-emergent that stops the seeds/burrs from growing, or you can spot spray the plants for what will be a couple of years. Sand burrs thrive on sandy soils with poor lawns that need fertilized for some reason. Easy to spot when you recognize them. When I'm running around on the mower in our yard which is sandy and prone to having sand burrs, I keep a spray bottle of Roundup on the mower to hit the individual plants. Yeah, there were white dots of dead grass all over the place, but in a couple of years, no sand burrs. Tough to get rid of completely where we live which is way out in the sticks, as animals moving through bring the seeds, but we have them under control. [/QUOTE]
