There are any number of herbicides that will kill dandelions. The trick is finding one that will not kill the good grass around the dandelions. The oldest and most reliable one is called 2,4D. Some people will tell you that 2,4D is "Agent Orange" of Vietnam infamy. Not quite. "Agent Orange" was a chemical mixture called "2,4D with Silvex", and is not available to homeowners.

Properly used, 2,4D has a very long track record of safety and effectiveness. It is the "plus 2" in the granular lawn product "Turf Builder plus 2".
