I have some late fall weeds and grass growing around some shrubs and pine straw areas of my yard. Should I spray them with weed and grass killer a day or so before the first freeze night going down to 32 degrees or will the freeze solve the problem?
Depending on the type of weeds, the freeze can only be temporary. If you would like to do this without chemicals, then you can pur boiling water on them. This will kill them completely.
I would appreciate the name of a product that will prevent spur weed in our yard. During the spring even our pets are troubled by the tiny barb on seeds produced by these plants.
We cannot recommend specific products, but these articles discuss the herbicide active ingredients you can use to control spurweed:

to control chamber bitter weed, it is recommended to us atrazine and isoxaben in early summer. However, in n.w. florida, spring already appears to be here. Is it too early to apply atrazine and isoxaben for the control of chamber bitter weed?
I would suggest a call to your County Extension Office to enquire on the best method and application time to treat Bitter weed in your region.

These inks are, usually, safe. I wouldn't worry too much. This type of paper is unbleached, which is the real problem. This is a good application of newspaper in the garden.
