We try to bush-hog them then spray around them with Round-Up/Surflan. In the higher profile areas that are not as bad, we'll take loppers to the lower branches and leave 3-5 branches straight up. Then you can spray around the base. Not sure if too many chemicals would really hurt them bad enough where they wouldn't come back. The leaves may die, but those things are pretty tough. Cutting the lower branches then spraying around the base would be the best option if possible.
