Candlestick bushes everywhere

Question

Last year, my sister planted a candlestick bush. While it was a beauty, this summer I’m having to deal with hundreds coming up in my non grass front yard! Any help ? Also, pursalane is trying to grow everywhere the candle bush isn’t!. I don’t favor insecticidials.
