My front lawn is loaded with little purple flowers this year.  I think
they may be violets.  Any ideas as to how I can get rid of these?

Discussed about a year ago to death.

They're violets and there is not much you can really do to them.
I pulled a bunch by hand but you've really got to stick your fingers
into the dirt and get the rhizome.

I've got a lot less this year after 2 years of hand removal.

Why......... Because soon I won't have any grass.  All of a sudden these
violets are taking over the whole front lawn.  There are thousands of
them out there!  Hand pulling these would be next to impossible!
