Hi tran.  Im currently in the midst of the same kind of project, and
after the big job of pulling our my old mint, Im patiently dousing it
with Roundup once a week.  Since mint grows from rhysomes (sic) Roundup,
with its systemic approach, gets down and snuffs 'em good, but it takes
some time.  The new shoots have to emerge to be treated and absorb the
chemical for that particular section of new growth. Mint is tough and
tenacious, to say the least.  Failing Roundup and patience, I suggest a
low yield neutron bomb.
