Will take a season or 2, but easiet is to pull them. Their roots are horizontal nodes that will come back somewhere else but repeated pulling will drain the energy of the nodes and they’ll disappear. Any roundup is very effective. Just remember it’s a thick plants so you need to use a surfactant on it to breakup its protective coating if trying natural approach. But really, keep pulling in 12-24 months it will be gone.

I started getting these. I have a portable sprayer and I go around spot spraying these. Doesn’t take much.

Triclopyr- works great. Doesn’t harm (doesn’t help) the cool weather grass.

Pull them
And make sure there are none in your property come the end of summer cause they grow purple flowers that blow in the wind and spread like crazy. All it takes is a couple tongrow that tall and they populate very easily.

Three way postemergent herbicide (something that has 2,4-D, mecoprop, and dicamba). It may take 2 applications to achieve control. Follow the labeled directions.
Park cars over your lawn, the spot I parked mine in the front… zero weeds.

I keep a half gallon sprayer full of speedzone for whenever these pop up. A single spray usually knocks them out in a few days.

Pull it and spray a turf builder to strengthen your grass. Healthy grass won’t let the weeds in.

Is this Canadian thistle? If so… pulling them out did nothing for me for about a year of weekly battle. The roots run horizontally under ground and eventually I gave up pulling and went chemical. The product that worked for me was Monterey Thistledown Weed Killer. Sprayed em and a few days later it all started dying and this year the hundreds of em have not been back!

Spray chemicals.
Welp the first two comments are your only two options really.

2- spray chemicals.
Shut it down boys. We’re done here

Y’all, I’m sure he understands that chemicals will kill it. Maybe be more helpful and say WHAT chemical will help.
With respect
