How can I control this weed?

My backyard is being taken over by the wild strawberry plant shown in the picture. For the last two summers I tried pulling them out but they seem to be re-growing and expanding fast.

What can I do to get rid of them / control their growth?

Thanks

Look up control for rough cinquefoil. It has a long taproot so pulling the top off won't be too effective.

Same. They have runners that you have probably seen crawling through the grass. They then take root and more pop up. I've tried a lot of things including real weed killer but they keep coming back. I've been thinking about a flame torch to continually burn them all summer as they appear.
