    Fire usually works pretty good.

      For the long term, this.

                MezaVue is the quickest and best of the restricted use herbicides.

                PastureGard if no applicator's license. It takes 7-8+ months to do the job, though.

                  No doubt!
                  When she brings home future victims I always suggest just burning the $$ and save them their slow death.

                    Best way is to water them… [emoji1787]

                    Tordon does a good job, well timed fire does as well.

                      If you have cows, burn (carefully with water on standby!) the needles off and let the cows eat em. No grass left so it'd be a treat! Then spray em when we have grass again.

Then the small ones will keep coming up, so you will need to repeat. Not fun, but it's free exercise. Avoid heat stroke and wear good leather gloves and boots. You can always hire someone certified to spray. Talk to your county extension agent.
                        Unfortunately, this is probably best option and definitely your cheapest.
