Any good 3-way liguid weed killer will get it, but you have to go after
it when it's actively growing and hit it at least 3 times, waiting about
2 weeks between applications.

If the chemicals make you nervous I'm afraid that you are out of luck.

Nope, you can do what i did... Take a pick-axe to it and dig it all up,
roots and all. took me 2 weeks, then i laid down a mat of ground cloth and
put crushed rock on top of that, now i have a low/no maintenance area that
borders my concrete patio and it looks great.
