Birdeye speedwell is native to parts of West Asia and Northern Europe, but has been naturalized across the world. Its natural biome is disturbed soils like farmland and roadside and agricultural areas.

Native to Eurasia, birdeye speedwell is now present in Africa, the Americas, and Oceania. It can now be found throughout most of the United States and Canada and is listed as invasive in Alaska and West Virginia. It is often considered a weed. It acts as an alternative host for a variety of crop pests and pathogens and frequently invades agricultural crops in addition to lawns and gardens. It can be used as groundcover and attracts pollinators. Control of birdeye speedwell can be achieved through encouraging robust native growth, cultivating shading crops, and herbicide. Mechanical control is often ineffective as plants can reroot, but regular spring tillage can offer an effective means of control.

The optimal season for removing birdeye speedwell is during the spring and summer months, when the plant is in its blooming stage, before it has a chance to shed seeds for propagation. The best time of year for removal is indeed before it reaches its seeding state, to prevent any further spread of the weed. Here are some methods you can use for its removal/control:
