What can I do to get rid of creeping bell flowers? There are too many to cover and smother. I have dug them out and pulled them out. Nothing works. Are they something I’m just going to have to live with? I don’t want to use poison. I have read your information on getting rid of them.

Expert Response
If you have read any or all of the following, sorry, it is the best information available. I am afflicted with this pest also. I just keep cutting it off to stop the flowering. The one time I sprayed, it killed the above ground leaves, but the roots sprouted again the following spring.
