How the heck do you get rid of Japanese Honeysuckle?

It just keeps growing and growing! It's taking over all of my other bushes (even my lilac bush, which I LOVE)! I've tried to cut it down and pull it out, but it's back! It's all over, and sometimes it's hard to see where the honesuckle ends and the bushes I want to keep begin!

How the heck do you get rid of Japanese Honeysuckle?
If you are talking about Japanese knotweed, (broad yellow-green leaves and a cloud of cream coloured flowers in autumn) the only way to get rid of that is using a systemic weed killer like brush wood cleaner. Hack or cut the horrid things down to as near the ground as possible, and put a crystal or two of the stuff on EVERY stem you cut. That way you won't kill other plants by mistake.


I fought it for ages with conventional, more organic methods, but that was the thing that finally got rid of it.
