What I do is keep it under control by keeping a trowel or hand fork handy and dig out the plant by tracing along the runners to I find the rooted areas along the creeping stems.
Hope your patch isn't too extensive. Teasing it out with a rake, you may find helps.

I'm guessing that those chickens are happy to peck away at the grass but not the buttercups.
When I was a Kid (long long ago), we made daisy chains and held buttercups under each others chins, to see if we liked butter, even though we already knew we did, but that was all part of the magic....Hopeless romantic, I know!

Oh yes, Chipchopper. You've just brought back memories of family picnics with the buttercup under the chin thing.
And daisy chains. I don't know if today's kids would have the patience to do that. I remember sitting for ages on our lawn or in parks making them.
Sorry, cluckyChick, I've gone slightly off-topic.
