Any product containing MCPA will kill this weed with one application.

I've used MCPA alone on our dear friend Ranunculus repens, and
I'm sorry to say that it doesn't have a 100% kill rate, not at
all. I seem to get better results carefully hand-digging the
damned stuff out.

I suspect that this weed's seeds are very long-lived, so badly
infested ground may produce new seedlings for many years even if
you carefully removed it, by chemical or by hand.
