I have had great success killing off my dandelions with sulfate of ammonia, the 21-0-0 stuff (they must hate nitrogen). After watering, I just put a teaspoon of the dry crystals in the center of the damp dandelion. Since I'm a bit on the lazy side, I use a length of PVC pipe and a small funnel. I put the PVC pipe in the middle of the plant, dump in the crystals, then move to the next weed.

Baking soda will do the same thing, and it is readily available and cheap! Just put about a half of a teaspoon, in the middle of the dandelion.
