Getting Rid of Goat Heads

I have goat heads (not the bugs) in my yard. What do they grow off of and how do I get rid them in my back yard?

RE: 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.

Goat head plants are thick in the yard. The whole yard is covered! Each year the problem multiplies. I have tried spot spraying with Round Up.

I have a lawn overrun with sand burrs, or goat heads, or puncture vines I not sure what they are called, but they have taken over my yard.
