Italian Arum - how best to remove from garden?

The Italian Arum in my garden is pretty much taking over. I tried to remove some this summer as the leaves died and the red berries emerged, but found about 1000 (slight exaggeration) small bulbs per plant to remove when I dug into the soil. Now the green leaves are starting to emerge - might it be easier to remove the plants now to stop them from growing/ spreading further?

This is an old post, but I bet that the poster STILL hasn't gotten rid of the Arum. This serves as a warning to anyone thinking of planting it.

Digging it up only encourages MORE growth. The leaves are immune to glysophate (Round-Up). Even burning doesn't help.
