I was reading somewhere that you should actually dig out the roots itself.
This thing is kinda like grass, so cutting off the leaves isn't going to help very much.
you'll need to carefully dig down into the ground, and remove all the rhizomes(roots), which is where its food is stored, by hand. try to take out all the little shoots and runners underground too.
if its not too late, perhaps you should put up a root barrier as well, around the area of infestation. slant it, so that when the roots encounter it, it will grow upwards, out of the ground, where you can chop them off. I believe concrete works fine. Since plant roots will take the path of least resistance, in this case, they'll grow upwards.
