Leave it be and enjoy a little bit of diversity that used to be desirable.

Pull it up by hand. Ain't no way to reliably treat it, cuz it grows like grass with runners and branches. It may die back when weather heats up but if you want it gone you gotta get dirty.

Take a look at Celsius WG. If the clover is in patches, I would start off by spot spraying with it.

If you decide to use it, just remember that Celsius is ground-active. So, keep it away from the drip-lines of trees, shrubbery, and plants you want to keep.

2,4-D will kill it but you will still have to pull it up.

I thought I recall that clover in bermuda is fine to leave as-is. The heat and low mowing will kill it soon enough and the dead clover will supply nitrogen to the soil for your bermuda. I have lots of weeds to worry about, but I never focus on clover.

Curious why it needs to be pulled if it's been killed? I spray 2-4-D to kill clover in my yard and my neighbors but I never considered pulling it after it dies.

Post a picture. Odds are, you have Oxalis and not clover. Either way, spray with "Weed-B-Gone" and be done. If you buy the pre-mix, add some Dawn. Mixing yourself, add some Dawn.
