Can someone help me identify this weeds or grass and advise me on how to get rid of it. The weeds/grass has taken over my whole front yards. link to the pics: http://imgur.com/7nXj4EI,gBDuNIg,FRGIuAd,Hfy392J,Dh92KyC,Gnv9EWG,IbkN2ip,Cq11nv7#0 I live in an urban area in southern Louisiana if that help with identifying it. Thanks!

There are hundreds of yellow-flowered Asteraceae which look superficially dandelion-like. Your photo is taken from too far away to see much detail in the leaves and also you have not said where the plant is located geographically. So an identification is pretty tough. Maybe you could post again when there are some flowers (are they even yellow?) and show us a closer view of the foliage. For example, I can't tell if the leaves are smooth or not.

Anthony, I would like you to reconsider using any weed and feed products. They have some rather serious drawbacks: 1) they are not very efficient at weed control and you are using an estimated 30-60% more herbicide (the "weed" portion) than necessary because of the broadcast application method distributing the herbicide where it is not needed. 2) W&F products are a major contributor to water pollution. Because they are applied so frequently and so heavily where not specifically needed and because they are water soluble by nature, they leach into groundwater and are carried off into our streams, rivers and lakes. They contaminate drinking water, produce algae blooms and can damage or destroy aquatic life. The most common contaminates of our drinking water and of our lakes and streams and other waterways are the chemicals typically found in most W&F - atrazine, dicamba and 2,4-D. 3) Because of their size and metabolism, children are more readily affected by pesticides than adults and W&F products contain ingredients that can be extremely harmful to kids. And pets! They can be endocrine disruptors and produce negative effects on the immune system and there have been links established to non-Hodkins lymphoma. The herbicidal granules are easily tracked into the home on shoes, bare feet, clothes and toys and pet feet and pads. in a 2003 study, 2,4-D was found in abnormal levels in 63% of homes tested for air quality. If you feel you MUST use some sort of herbicide to control lawn weeds, then pick a dedicated spray product that you can apply directly to individual plants. Because these are liquid sprays and not granules, they do not leach into groundwater when applied as per label directions. And once dry, they do not affect kids and pets in the same manner as do the W&F granules nor are they easily tracked into the home. But I would encourage you to attempt the manual removal first if the weed problem is not overwhelming - it is the most efficient and thorough method of weed removal and has NO negative impacts on you, your kids or the environment.
