I think you are talking about the weed "Spurge" Even if you spray the weed, the seeds dry up and drop, and germinate later. When you pick them, (which is the best solution) they have this milky substance on them, which can make you itchy. I use a long screw driver to loosen the weed first, (around the root)so it comes right out. That spurge can grow anywhere, and it seems like it pops up overnight!!
