I've been at war with Privet. No matter what I do, the little bugger comes back in full force. How do I get rid of this relentless plant for good?

I live in the Southeastern US. It was originally introduced here as a hedge plant as well. Unfortunately it's gotten wildly out of control and is very invasive. It crowds out other plants, cultivated and wild. I have a Jerusalem artichoke plant that it has a stump in the middle of and it keeps trying to grow higher than it to share it out.
