Default Palm Tree sprouts in lawn

Hello All,
My next door neighbor has 3 tall palm trees which, during flowering season,
drop a large amount of seeds on my lawn.

These tend to sprout in my grass. Is there some chemical that will kill
these without killing the grass? I've tried lawn weed killers to no avail.
(Not surprising since I don't imagine they were formulated to see palm trees
as "weeds").

I'd love a solution short of getting on my knees and pulling them out
one-by-one!

TIA for any suggestions. A picture of one of the trees and the sprouts in
the grass can be found he
