Sorry - to clarify, it is ivy that's growing along the ground (didn't
realise there was a plant called ground ivy)

Just pull it up back or cut is back to were it is rooted. Then it
won't regrow much if at all. Glyphosate won't kill ivy because it
doesn't absorb through its leaves.

I consider ground ivy a blessing, as it is pretty effective at seeing
off ground elder (or, at least, deterring it). It's good ground cover,
and doesn't really affect taller plants. As it's not deeply rooted, it's
easily kept in check by pulling it out (see above). If you really want
to get rid of it, just keep pulling, and it eventually gets the message.
