from places like Lowes, but since it is super concentrated, you can't use it for weeds growing among other plants that you don't also want to kill. It works well for weeds growing through rocks, concrete, etc. Sounds like it might work well for your issue - just get a spray bottle!
I have a friend who has used nematodes for controlling clover in her lawn, and it worked like a dream.
On edit: your yard will smell like pickles for a while!
