Bindi-eye plants are common lawn weeds. Most homeowners notice that their yard is infested when they step on one of the prickly burrs with their bare feet. Bindi-eye can be difficult to get rid of. According to the Western Australia Department of Agriculture, pulling individual bindi-eye weeds by hand is an ineffective way to kill them. It is tough to spot all of the plants in a lawn and equally hard to remove all of the roots. The best way to kill bindi-eye is to spray the entire lawn with a broad-leaf herbicide.
Things You'll Need
Broad-leaf herbicide
Hose-end sprayer
Mix the broad-leaf herbicide in the hose-end sprayer according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Twist the end of your hose into the hose-end lawn sprayer according to its instructions.
Spray the lawn to evenly coat it with broad-leaf herbicide according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Re-treat the lawn at the interval dictated by the manufacturer (usually two weeks) if all of the weeds have not been killed in 10 days.
Tips & Warnings
The best time to treat bindi-eye is during the growing season when they are actively growing. Ideally, treat plants between before their flowers begin to form seed.
Broadleaf herbicides containg MCPA and Bromoxynil are ideal for treating Bindi-eye.
