Is there some chemical made to stop this?

Works great.

Roundup works to kill what's there, but won't prevent more from
immediately starting to germinate. Also, if you use more than
a minimal amount of Roundup, you can buy the generic glyphosate
chemical from online sources for ~$75 for 2.5 gallons of 48%
concentrate. That's enough to make 250 gallons, it works out
to 30 cents a gallon, compared to $10 to $20 for a gallon of
readymade at HD.

The other choice is one of the extended duration products that
not only kills the weeds, but keeps new ones from germinating
for most of the season.
