Best Answer

Applying corn gluten or vinegar as home-made remedies, removing the yellow flowered heads to prevent germination, treating with broadleaf weed killers, and uprooting by hand or by trowel are ways to get rid of dandelions.

you can't kill them with a chemical you have to pull out the root. yes it does mean work.Answer

You can use a Glysophate weedkiller such as Roundup. It will kill them but be careful not to get it on plants you want to keep.

One way is to apply Roundup or some equivalent herbicide to just where the weed is and then overseed a couple of weeks later to fill in the dead spot in the lawn. You can do this with a sprayer with the nozzle right next to the plant or by using a small painbrush dipped in the herbicide and painted on the leaves of the plant.

Sprinkle brown sugar on the yellow part of the dandelion. This messes with its cellular respiration and should kill it. If this doesn't work, spray the dandelion and the surrounding area with vinegar.

Manual extraction. Use a shovel and make sure you get the entire taproot out, otherwise it will just grow back.
