Apply weed killer whil wearing rubber gloves and smother every leaf.
Don't risk spraying as drift will almost inevitably catch the plants
you do want to keep. *The method of bundling it up in a bag or jar
filled with weedkiller is another good one as Malcolm suggests. *The
only danger is that someone else kicks it over and harms other plants! *
You can also train it up bamboo canes and then use the gloves and weed
killer method.

I'd use SBK to treat it, as Sacha says wearing rubber gloves, but if
you put a woolen or cotton glove over that then your glove holds a lot
more weedkiller as you draw your hand up the stems,
Also you can add some washing up liquid to the mix, put some onto an
old washing up liquid bottle and shake well, then keeping the bottle
upright just squeze out some of the foam onto the plant you want to
treat.
What ever method you chose do it in the latish evening when ther is no
wind, that way you wont have fume drifting to other plants as you
would if it was done in sunshine, also the chemical has all night to
get into the plant as it doesn't evaporate or dry any where as fast at
night.
