Creeping Charlie. Use any broadleaf herbicide containing dicamba or triclopyr, or some combination of those herbicides.

 

Using triclopyr may be overkill as that chemical is usually used for hardwoods/brush/trees. No need for that. These are soft tissue weeds. Also, if overspray from wind triclopyr will destroy everything.

 

Dig'em up deep....

When I grew up, next door neighbor had it along the side of their house in a planting area, along with a variety of ornamental bushes. Seemed vey easy to maintain, and looked nice.

I live in a small village that has regulations against farm animals. I can't even have chickens. yet my brother, who lives in the city can. he just can't have roosters. thanks for the reply.

 

That looks like my yard.
In my case, I don't care. It's green.
From a distance it looks like grass(smile).
I can tell you, charlie does not like roundup. Not saying to use RU in your yard.
I use it to keep charlie outta my flower beds.

Good luck...Don.
