How to get rid of Privet for good? (lemmy.world)

I've been at war with Privet. No matter what I do, the little bugger comes back in full force. How do I get rid of this relentless plant for good?

I think it's small leaf privet. It also goes by the name of "Chinese Privet" here. This is in the Southeastern US.

While there's plenty of annoying seedlings, the cut stumps are my main problem. They like to grow in the middle of other already established plants. I've even tried poisoning the stumps, which I hate to do but I felt I had no other choice. It still came back.
