Hi there:
The weed in question is Redstem Filaree.
Control methods include good old hand pulling prior to flowers going to seed. Or, if you want to use a herbicide, you can apply a Broadleaf herbicide for infestations the lawn. For larger areas where nothing else is growing, a nonselective herbicide is OK. Please follow all instructions on the label and wear protective clothing when handling herbicides. I've attached a information guide on the Redstem Filaree and a informative guide on when, how to treat all kinds of weeds in your home landscape.
