Getting Rid Of Goat Heads

I don't know how to get rid of goat heads chemically; you need to pull them in the spring. To get rid of them in yard once they are dried, staple a piece of carpeting (not shag) to a 2X4 about 3 ft. long, attach a length of rope to both ends making a loop, then drag it behind you., you may have to replace the carpeting a couple times but it will grab the goat heads.
