Pull out they will come back anyway so better to get into the habit of picking out weekly from the root. Weed killer and salt is toxic to the insects and worms that fertilise the soil

Put salt on the weeds then pour boiling water on them may make grass a bit yellow but works and is a safe option if you have animal's or children

Most commercial weedkillers are pet safe once dry, but not for grazing animals like Rabbits.

Boil the kettle and tip boiling water onto the weed. obviously making sure the dogs don't come near it whilst you're pouring. kills them root seed and all
