How to get rid of guara plants

Here in San Diego, un-hybridized guara has spread uncontrollably over about 3,000 sq ft in my yard. Do you have any ideas about how I can get rid of it? I hate to use Roundup, but is that my only option? The plant has actually grown through 12″ of mulch! I don’t have a picture, but it’s become almost a ground cover w/pink flowers – not a very pretty plant.

Thanks, Barb

I would urge you contact your local Country Extension Office.
They will have some suggestions on how to control invasive plants in your exact region.
It is also good to report invasive plants to your local office.
