I agree with all above. If you want to keep having some, keep some of the plants but grow it in the appropriate sized pot and you can keep it contained. If it flowers cut them off before they go to seed. That will prevent them from spreading out of the pot and into other areas.Helpful Reply -

Treat the plant with an herbicide to kill it, using a product that contains prodiamine. ...Helpful Reply -
