Spot applied "Roundup" has seen off the ground elder we had.

Tried that plus numerous other stuff. Still in the border and under

Not getting rid of it next door is the root cause of the problem.
Ours didn't like all (easily accessable) leaves being sprayed once or
twice a year for a year or three. We could get at all of it though.

A four pint rectangular milk bottle with the bottom cut off makes a
nice shroud to keep the spray only on the leaves you want.
