- 1). Pull individual white clover plants out of the lawn while wearing gloves. Dig out their roots using a gardening trowel. Remove as many white clover plants as possible.
- 2). Treat the lawn with a post-emergence selective herbicide in the fall. Begin by putting on chemical-resistant gloves and long clothes for protection from chemicals in the herbicide.
- 3). Combine 1 gallon of water with 2 ounces of post-emergence selective herbicide containing dicamba, triclopyr and mecoprop (MCPP) in a bucket. Prepare the herbicide solution as directed on the product's label. Pour the diluted herbicide solution into a garden sprayer. Postemergence selective herbicides only kill white clover plants, not grass.
- 4). Disperse the herbicide solution evenly over the entire lawn to kill all white clover plants. Apply the herbicide solution from mid-September through October.
- 5). Reapply the herbicide solution each year to prevent the white clover plants from growing back.
