Frequent mowing helps , they are bulbs though so you need some powerful chems and multiple applications . We don’t get any of the good stuff here in Canada so one of the USA guys can chime in on a product you might be able to use short of painting with glyphosate

Wild garlic, but every one calls them onions.
Wild onions have flat(ish) leaves, kind of like tulip leaves. Wild garlic has the round hollow leaves.
Can be killed with any broadleaf herbicide with 2 or more of the following active ingredients: 2,4-d, dicamba, mcpp (mecoprop), mcpa, fluroxypyr, triclopyr (dicamba and triclopyr/fluroxypyr are especially effective)
Will require watching for new growth and re spraying. Because they grow by bulbs, they never go down with the first spray. And they only grow in the spring, and sometimes fall, so you’ll have to be on the look out in future seasons… But as long as you’re observant and don’t let it grow un bothered, it’s relatively easy to control.
Pulling or digging are not particularly effective because it’s essentially impossible to get all of the bulbs out.
