We had a similar problem and did some research. Whatever you do-don't burn
them. You can inhale the smoke and cause your lungs to break out. Poisons
like Roundup don't work well either because even when the plant is dead,
you can get the resins from the leaves that will break you out. The only
sure fire method we found is to dig them up root and all and discard them.
Dig very carefully, needless to say.
