What is the Most Effective Way to Kill Ground Ivy?
Control is most effective in the early spring, before the plants have gotten too big. Rake and mow early in the season. You can dislodge Creeping Charlie’s rooting stems from the ground with a rake. After raking make sure to mow low, and then rake up and dispose of the stems (severed stems can re-root). Another way to rid your lawn of Creeping Charlie is through the use of weed killers. There are products available that can be applied to your entire lawn and chemicals that can be used to spot treat the problem, although this weed tends to respond slowly to spot treatments.
