If you keep pulling it up taking as much root as you can get, it will eventually die out. The secret seems to be pulling the new growth before it gets big and grows more roots.
I’m currently dealing with a rash on my foot. I think I brushed against some the other day when wearing sandals. It had been growing under one of my blueberry bushes. Thought I had exterminated it there, but apparently not.
(scratches foot…)
No way will I use brush killer near my gardens!
