Does anything selectively kill clover?

I have a pretty well groomed yard except for this one patch of clover that just keeps expanding. What can I buy to kill it but leave the grass unharmed?

Weed and feed should do it. You can buy granular or a spray.

Weed & feed or broadleaf lawn herbicide. Or you could just go find the center of each plant and pull it out. You'll need to reseed the area afterwards either way.

Just spray the patch with roundup. The grass will come back eventually. That's what I did to some Behaya (sp?).

Your lawn mower is spreading it around your yard. You will need to kill it and probably the grass it's growing in if you want to get rid of it. You might try one of those weed killers that's supposed to not kill the grass though.

Killex will do the trick. Make sure you fertilize with some nitrogen as clover is generally a sign of low nitrogen. Also, the clover will just run its course in a few weeks.
