My question is whether a weedkiller such as "Roundup" would do the trick, or is
the only option just digging them out.

Hello Terry
Several herbicides will do a good job for you, perhaps one to use would be Root Out. Follow instructions or cut growth to about 3 inches above soil level and drill stems using a half inch bit to a depth of two to three inches. Fill with product and seal. Do not get the chemical on soil or other plants. It works very well for difficult subjects.
Best wishes,
Gerald.
