In the USA we call it a butterfly bush and I have 3 red, white and
purple and they attract 100s of butterflys why in the world would anyone
want to kill this marvalous plant is beyond me.

because here in the UK, though we have wonderful named varieties, we
also have the comparatively dull mauve wild variety which seeds itself
freely into waste ground and grows large - and this is the one people
are complaining about.

And we are also a very overcrowded country, so with small gardens we
have to make sure every single plant counts!

I must admit I rather like the dull mauve one although you certainly do
have to keep a lookout for seedlings coming up in inconvenient places.
It does get big but you can keep the base clear so that you've got
growing room under it and because it's fairly airy,its shde isn't too
dense.
Some of the cultivars seem a bit top heavy to me.

what will kill of this damned thing ?

I've seen them killed by waterlogging, but I don't suppose you can apply
this to order.

just leave the hosepipe running for a day or 2 at the base of the
plant ??
