How to kill a buddleia?

It's growing in the 8" gap between the greenhouse and the boundary fence
(sheep netting). It's distorted the greenhouse frame, breaking one of the
panes. I've hacked back the buddleia and replaced the pane.

Knowing that buddleias like a good prune I'm assuming it's likely to carry
on growing and cause more damage, so I'd like to kill it. First thoughts
are chemical, but I don't know what to use and how to apply it.

Ideas?

Cut it off and paint "Roundup" on the cut stems.
Kills it easy,

How does that work when it's only absorbed through the leaves?

Tim

if it were, it wouldn't, but it isn't so it does.
