    If you've got this growing through a nice plant, cover the plant with something waterproof, leaving the weed exposed and then use the glyphosate.  If the weed is small, my trick is to put the weed through the neck of an old lemonade bottle (bottom removed) so that it's in what resembles a funnel.  Apply the weedkiller and leave until the leaves are dry.  Hopefully it should then fade until the next time you need to get the chemicals out.

    You really need to bruise the stems or the glyphosate won't be absorbed.

    just a suggestion.

    Go to your local vet / doctor, hopefully you have a good relationship. Ask for a syringe and a needle. if you get one your in business. fill syringe with roundup inject the little dears and watch it die.

    Not an orthodox method but worth a try?? it gets you past the waxy leaves. time consuming yes. Will it work? It should do.

    Please be very careful with the needle.

    There are gardening alternatives to the needle bus as the stem is not over thick?
