How do I kill Elephant Ears?

Parts of my yard are taken over...It's getting crazy..I dig them up, they come back. Any solutions? Or is this something I am going to have to deal with and mow over?

How do I kill Elephant Ears?
You can't unless you dig up the entire root, blulb and all.. If you leave even a piece of root in the ground it will regrow.


So unless you have a lot of time on your hands, just keep mowing.
Reply:spray the base with round up and then dig up by roots and spray the hole
Reply:You lift up their flaps and then yell really loud into the ear. (I just needed the points.)
Reply:have to get the whole root system when you dig, go out a foot or more, and as deep as you find tendrils
Reply:Mow them over or use herbicides.
Reply:Dig the bulb out.


Or, get ORTHO brush and weed killer and try that. That might just work, but you need to get to the bulb.
Reply:Roundup.
Reply:put a sign in your yard FREE ELEPHANT EARS and let them dig em up i wish i had your problem
Reply:Spray them with Round-up.
Reply:The digging up part is about the only thing that I found works, you just have to make sure to get all the little bulblets.Risky suggestion .. try total vegetation killer and reseed the lawn after 4 weeks?! Try not to water the area ,also
Reply:i just planted some elephant ear bulbs...now im scared should i dig them up while i still can?
