I have had to use herbicide, mainly for maile pilau and guava.... both of which sprout hardily from root fragments... and are extremely invasive in our area.
For control we paint the herbicide (usually crossbow type) directly on the sproutling or cut stump.... no other way have we been able to eradicate either from our land, but we have not used herbicide for broad area clearing either, as our lot was already cleared & planted (and most likely the past owner HAD used herbicides more broadly.
