I am told low yield tactical nukes are reasonably effective against it but you should expect some regrowth. Basically bruise and apply gel formulation glyphosate or dig down with a large screwriver and pull up every single stem as far down as you can get. A combination of these will keep it under control but the roots are so extensive it will take decades to eliminate (forever if there is somewhere nearby like a railway embankment where it can see the sun). Don't be discouraged by this macho-evil talk. If it's so aggressive, why doesn't it take over the world? Horse-tail is plant like any other. Pull it up or week-kill it every time it shows up and you'll win. (But I do have to say that in the under-floor space of my house, I saw what I though were mysterious electric wires, then I realised they were horse-tail roots) A neighbour (NOT next door) allowed horse-tail to take over his garden. It looked interestingly different, as a moss-garden looks interestingly different. It's your choice!
