Our plan is to keep pulling it up. That's about it.
It does work. As you've found, when you pull it out it only returns from the root that you will surely leave behind.

Glycophoshate, which you can buy as roundup or for far less under it's chemical name, is absorbed from the leaves. You do not need to coat every leaf. I rwill kill not only the leaves but the roots as well. If you want to get fancy, put a card behind the torpedo grass leaf when you apply the chemical. This will prevent your hitting the grass you do not want to damage.
