Many Arums are incredibly invasive, unfortunately. Chemical means are almost never useful. There are a few ways to kill them, but most take years to kill.

There is one way that will work, fairly, quickly. It will require several days of pouring boiling water on each patch of them. Do this once per day for about a week, and it will kill most, if not all of them.

Here are some articles that will help:
