I would be inclined - without seeing the property - to hire someone to mow
or cut it back to the ground. Then go in, or have someone else, monthly
with Roundup to hit the newly sprouting foliage.



Agree with the Roundup, but surely not cutting. That could make an allergic
catastrophe. All the chopped up leaves blowing around would be a
nightmare.


Didn't suggest putting them in the blender. The OP is sensitive to PI,
so a landscape maintenance person with suitable protection and know-how
might be willing. If not, get a front end loader and get rid of the
whole mess. OF COURSE, the OP would not stand around watching some nut
with a weed whacker. Have yet to read of anyone dropping dead because
they mowed some PI. Did get a child home from summer camp who slipped
going down a hill and took a slide - sans sled - through PI. One trip
to the doc and a supply of cortisone took care of the PI that covered
her legs. For some strange reason, it didn't really bother her much.
Had a blast at summer camp )
