    How about just feeding them with summer lawn food. The clover only competes in low nutrient environments thanks to its nitrogen fixing and growing too short to be mowed. Feed and water (if you can) and sit back.

    If weedkillers must be used I've had more success against clover when using weedkillers in granular rather than liquid formulations. Don't know why. try Arthur Bowers stuff for starters. It's cheap at least. Whatever you use it'l take a couple of applications, and remember it will inhibit seed germination afterwards so you can't re-sow the lawn for a few weeks.

    there are a number of species which are known as "clover", can you describe the plants in more detail, or provide a photo please.
