My dad used to get out all his anger by digging it out. he never did any other yardwork except kudzu control. I think he used a pickaxe, hoe and perhaps a flamethrower/automatic machine gun to conquer his foe.
One time he brought home his trophy. He found the last little leaves sprouting up from the former patch and started digging and found a root about the size and thickness of a baseball bat. He brought it home and kept it on the bookshelf for a couple of years. I think digging is the only thing that works. Lots of work. Kind of the plant equivalent of the groundhog.
