One thing is that the common herbicide 2-4-D can kill it, especially if applied in the spring before flowering.
What troublesome invasive weed do you have in your area?

I've got dead ash all busted and hung up in themselves. The only thing holding some together is the huge poison ivy vines. Maybe 2"-3" in diameter. They are easy to cut off when like that but I can't get close enough now.

This. And some other invasive (same thing?), hard to get rid of weed. This stuff laughs at Weed-B-Gone.
Herbicides that will kill this will also kill the lawn. There's also something the locals call "water grass" (rhizomes) that's also hard to kill.
In posting #18 I showed a picture of Quack grass which has Rhizomes. Only Roundup with glyphosate or equivalent can kill it ( but kills everything). I wonder if these plants are similar to each other.
Tenacity is a selective herbicide that will kill some problem grasses and not hurt cool season lawn grasses.
Tenacity herbicide is a safe weed killer for cool season turfgrass like Kentucky Bluegrass, Turf Type Tall Fescue, Fine Fescue, and Ryegrass. It is one of the best weed killers for lawns.
Weeds controlled (but not limited to) include the following:

I'm thinking they are. The only local nursery that would have known went under years ago.
Once they start to take over your lawn, I think the only option is the nuclear one.

These things. What are they and how do I get rid of them??
Tenacity will knock it out without killing the good grass
Triv grass was my issue ended up nuking the front lawn doing a full KBG came out beautiful
Not sure but they have broad leaves, so a broad leaf plant killer containing 2-4-D should work.

The worst is bittersweet. It kills trees and climbs pines 100 ft tall. The base root looks like a rope which I go around and cut with with my cordless chainsaw to stop it.
My neighbor hired a tracked machine(bobcat) to pull down with a saw/clamp on an elongated bucket on his property.

Unfortunaly it's a native grass in the low wetlands here. The mower is what spreads it. No way could I eliminate it. 2 acers to treat if I were to do that. And it would need to be done annually until the dormant seeds are all sprouted.
I just wiped out a bunch along the road with Trimec.
Buckhorn plantain is what it is. Probably edible with the new leaves.
