Put some straight nitrogen fertilizer on them if you really want them gone.

I agree, more like chicory than dandelion. You can tank mix 2,4,d and glyphosate together for a 'total kill' type mixture. IIRC (will have to check my jugs where I keep it written) I use 1.5oz/gallon for 2,4,d and 2oz/gallon for glyphosate. I either use them mixed or the 2,4,d by itself when trying to get broad-leaf out of grass. Some broad-leaf weeds you need to bump up the 2,4,d like when trying to get clover or Black Medic out of your lawn 4ounces per gallon knocks the stuff back without burning my lawn.
Clover etc. you definitely need a surfacant, should be able to buy a small bottle of 'crop oil' or 'agricultural oil'. It doesn't take much, 1/2 teaspoon per gallon (there are 6 teaspoons in an ounce).

That first pic looks a lot more like dandelion than chicory. Unfortunately, I feel like an expert in both. Regardless, both are easily killed by 2,4D or gly. Not sure why you’re having trouble, but keep trying.

I'm going to try both 2 4 d and glyphosate together I'm just sick of all these weeds! I live inside the woods when I mow the grass you wanna cut grass not weeds.

READ AND FOLLOW THE LABEL ON EVERY PESTICIDE YOU USE
Pesticides will work properly if used according to the label. The manufacturers spend millions of dollars doing research to find out how their products work best. And what they find, is what they put on the label.
Using 41% Roundup (which is glyphosate) straight out of the jug without diluting it as the label directs you, will not work as good as if you go by the label. The reason this is true is because glyphosate needs to translocate through the plant in order to kill the entire plant, roots and all. If you use it straight, it will burn the part of the plant that it contacts, and will not translocate, therefore will not kill the entire plant.
I suggest you take a sample of the weed to your county agent, or send him the pics from this thread, and ask them to identify it, and they can recommend a herbicide to treat it.

I can vouch for that. Even not diluting 41% enough will cause this burning of the leaves without killing the plant.

If you aren't spraying in a crop area the lawn chemicals like Triplett are very good at killing most broadleaf weeds. Glyphosate should kill it no problem. As the previous posters said. Mix it properly to completely kill the offending plant.

I always use water except in roundup that what the direction call for I'll get this under control soon.
