garlic mustard annual battle

Well it is time for my annual battle with garlic mustard plants on my land. I have them where I live on 2 acres but not on my hunting acreage. Thank goodness! I pull them if the ground allows. Otherwise, I fill up a 3 gallon sprayer with Roundup and go after them. I see that some of the plants have their white flowers already. It has been an early spring in SouthCentral Wisconsin and the garlic mustard is up in force.
Anyone else battle these invasives? It is a never ending battle, but I can say that I have at least made some progress in keeping them from taking over the understory of my woods at home.
 
I've got some it in my yard. I knock it back with broadleaf killer every spring and by the following spring more shows up.

Thankfully it's not in my timber. My invasive is Japanese stilt grass it carpets the floor of the woods in several acres. This is going to my year to get serious about starting to kill it.
