To get rid of burweed stickers in your yard you can spray or pour bleach on the burweed stickers or use a herbicide or other weed killer.

Vinegar can also kill the burweed stickers and other stickers and weeds in your yard.

To get rid of sticker patches in your yard you can kill the sticker patches with some diluted bleach or just by pouring some full strength bleach on the sticker patches.

You can also use a herbicide or other weed killer to kill the sticker patches.

Also digging the sticker patches up and burning them to get rid of future seeds will also help.

To kill sticker burrs in your yard you can apply some diluted bleach or even full strength bleach to the sticker burrs.

The bleach will quickly kill off the sticker burrs.

You can also spray the sticker burrs with some vinegar or other herbicide.

Digging the sticker burrs up is also another option or burning them if possible.

To prevent sticker burrs a preemergence herbicide should be 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.

A good and natural way to get rid of grass burrs in your yard without killing the grass is to use some white vinegar.

White vinegar sprayed on the grass burrs in the yard will kill the grass burrs without killing the grass.

You can also buy and use grass burr killers that you spray on the grass burrs which kills off and gets rid of the grass burrs quicker.

You can also dig the grass burrs up and then spray the area where you pulled the grass burrs up with some vinegar or grass burr killer to help prevent the grass burrs from coming back.

You should also maintain a thick lawn and use Roundup Powermax or Imazapic on the grass burrs.

Another way to kill grass burrs is to spray them with a mixture of 2 tablespoons of MSMA Crabgrass Killer and 6 tablespoons of Image herbicide per gallon of water (per 1000 square feet).

Grass burrs take over your lawn when their seeds are spread.

One of the easiest ways to make this mistake is through improper lawn mowing practices.

In order to prevent the spread of grass burrs or other weed seeds that could infect your lawn, make sure your mower is properly bagged to collect your yard's undesirables.

When grass burrs penetrate the skin, they cause a wound from where pathogens gain access to the body to cause an infection.

If the burr ends up in your dog's eye, it can cause an ulcer, eye infection, or cornea.

None of these diseases are easy to treat.

Field sandbur (grassbur) is a summer annual grassy weed that can be found in home lawns, sports fields, parks and along roadsides.

This weed is especially adapted to dry, sandy soils but can be found growing in other types of soils as well.

A bur (also spelled burr) is a seed or dry fruit or infructescence that has hooks or teeth.

The main function of the bur is to spread the seeds of the bur plant, often through epizoochory.

Cenchrus longispinus is a species of grass, also known as spiny burr grass or gentle Annie.

Its fruits are clumped into "burrs" with sharp, barbed spines that can penetrate the hides and mouth of grazing animals.

They can also become lodged in human clothing, causing some discomfort.

Sandburs are weedy annuals or perennials, typically less than 100 cm (40 inches) tall.

The plants are usually shallow-rooted and spread readily.

The leaf blades are generally somewhat twisted and feature a fringed ligule (small appendage) at the leaf base.

Despite its ill repute, the sandbur is a native species, and it does serve a purpose.

It is an aggressive colonizer species, whose job is to reclaim bare ground and protect it from erosion and further damage.

The best way to control sandburs is with a pre-emergent herbicide.

These products kill the plant before it emerges from the soil, when it is a lot more vulnerable to chemicals.

The best time to apply the product is when the soil temperature reaches 52 degrees Fahrenheit.
