Could you please identify these 'Prickly' weeds taking over my lawn? And what to use to get rid of them? Never had this problem before ~ would like to keep the grass growing. However, these burrs are taking over and injuring my pets & kids feet. "OUCH" Like to go out barefoot around the pool. JPG's attached.

Expert Response
The weed is lawn burweed. Any 2-4D product will work at suppressing it. The burs will fall off shortly and not be a problem. A pre-emergent in the spring is the best way to prevent it. Use pedimethalin in the spring to prevent it from becoming a problem.
