I read an article about using a small device like you would use to brown a crème brûlée. It’s an intriguing thought but needs to be used with caution around mulch that could ignite. It isn’t using toxic chemicals and I have tried preen which does suppress the growth but doesn’t eliminate it. I have some artillery fern and it seems impossible to get rid of them. Apparently when you pull them they drop seeds and only very extreme chemicals over a course of 3 months will get rid of them. Growing together they can make beautiful ground cover. But popping up where you don’t want them? Not so much. Incidentally I have used a vinegar/salt/dawn solution and lost plants as a result.
