Where to call segmentedControl.removeBorders() from?

Question

When I'm creating an extension in Xcode and need to call:

segmentedControl.removeBorders()

Where should I call that from?. In viewDidLoad for the view controller's Swift file? as an override func in the view controller's Swift file?. Inserting that after viewDidLoad is giving me a "Method 'segmentedControl' was used as a property; add () to call it" error and when I add the parentheses it gives me a

"Value of tuple type '()' has no member 'removeBorders'" error.

Is it an issue with naming? I named the .swift for deleting the borders/dividers "UISegmentedControl+removeborders.swift". I'm a complete n00b, if that helps to explain why I'm stuck on this. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

In my current project, I've subclassed it, so the call is made in the initializer:

class SegmentedControl: UISegmentedControl {
    override init(items: [Any]?) {
        super.init(items: items)
        segmentedControlInit()
    }
    required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
        super.init(coder: aDecoder)
        segmentedControlInit()
    }
    private func segmentedControlInit() {
        removeBorders()
    }
}

But doing it from viewDidLoad should be fine as well.
