If you’ve noticed those painful little yard stickers popping up again, you’re not alone.
A Benbrook resident recently asked the community for advice on the best way to tackle the problem—and plenty of helpful neighbors chimed in with tried-and-true tips.
The consensus? Getting rid of stickers, also known as burs, isn’t as simple as spraying a weed killer. Several residents recommended a more hands-on approach: cutting them out by hand with scissors or digging them up by the roots. While time-consuming, it’s the most effective way to prevent these stubborn seeds from taking over.
Others warned that even if you clean up your own yard, neighboring properties with stickers can easily reseed your lawn through the wind. So, a little teamwork across fences might go a long way.
Another important reminder: steer clear of chemical-heavy solutions like Roundup, especially if you have pets, since it can pose serious health risks.
Bottom line—if you’re looking to enjoy sticker-free summer barefoot strolls, it might be time to grab some gloves, a box, and a little patience. Your feet will thank you!
