yard shoesHow to get rid of goathead stickers scattered all over my southwest yard. They stick to shoes then carpet.?

Everytime I walk around my yard certain areas have thousands of these stickers called goatheads ( tornitillos by the Mexicans ) which
stick onto my shoes, and if I don't scrape them off before entering my
house, they become embedded in the carpet. They hurt like crazy
when stepped on when bare footed and even through socks.
They also hurt the dogs walking the yard as they stick to their paws.
Best way to get rid of them is to pull 'em out. Allow them to start to go to seed (so you can isolate the bite-you-bitchez) Gently lift the stems to find the root mass - grows radially out from center - gather all the stems and pull. The roots are shallow, but the stems growing along the ground will root as they grow (weed survival tactic) and break yard shoeseasily. Takes time but it's more effective than using poison which encourages them to go to seed that wil continue the sticky infestation. I can walk barefoot in my front yard now.
It isn't just about getting rid of the plant but the actual goat heads, which no one has seemed to Answer. I have recently found that getting shaggy carpet scraps from your local carpet stores dumpster then dragging them across your yard can pick up thousands of the little devils!!!!!!!

I found another post using ask.com about how to remove stickers from my yard. The post was from fox16 news and its called Good Earth Greenhouse. He said the best way to remove stickers is to use a post-emerge such as Fertilone Weed Out yard shoesPlus. Apply 2 applications 7 to 10 days apart. Use pre-emerge and fertilizer every 60 days now till winter. Cut yard closer than normal and bag it a few times to cut out the stickers. You might read a few others of his posts, he has great info on yard care. Also, I am still doing research on this myself. I have stickers that seem to be silimar to yours..they stick to shoes and it took me about 30 min to use a tweezer to pull them out of my sons shoes (hes only 20mos old). I didnt know they are called Goatheads, but I will research that and will research other terms I found like Bermuda and Zoysia, which he said to use Weed Out Plus on in reference to people looking for sticker removal. Good luck!
