Actually Gaskil, I rarely now have one of them come up. I may have 2 or 3 come up over a month and of course that is only over their growing season. But I am assiduous in painting them with an applicator when I do see one. I use a little plastic bottle of Frend (spot cleaner stuff) once it is empty and it allows for spot treatment of Oxalis. As the bottle has an applicator top. I found the brush method much too tedious. And I used to be inundated with them! Went overseas for 7 weeks and when I got back, a large garden bed I had dug over before I left, was a lovely bright green colour, totally taken over with Oxalis.
