Your best bet is to dig them out...if you don’t /can’t get them all at once, make sure that you at least dead head the flowers before they seed so that you don’t allow them to spread further
Right now, while they are coming up, pulling them out is the best method. There is also a tool that can be used to pull wild chives/onions/garlic out by the bulb ball. After disposing of bulbs, pour boiling hot water in the hole and fill back in with fresh-potting soil.
I dig them out. The bulbs do not grow deeply into the soil, only about 2 inches.
