I would do it every freaking day...or every time you see it popping up anywhere. I find that pulling a week when it is small and there are few is much easier than designating one or more days to trying to pull everything that is there, some of which may have already bloomed and seeded.

Good luck---you will be doing this forever. I don't think there is a way to get rid of it, you can only manage it.
