Invasive removal management: NC, 8a

USA, North Carolina, Piedmont, 8a

Hi! I began removal of invasive plants along my fence edge this winter. Due to an injury, I was unable to continue work on it until now. The main problem plants are Privet, English Ivy, and Autumn Olive. I cut back a bunch to stump and removed all limbs before I had to stop. My question is now that it is nearing full Spring in my area, should I just manage by pulling new growth/shoots until fall? Or should I cut back stumps and apply herbicide (I wish I didn’t have to do this but they’re so bad in my neighborhood I fear it is the only way) to them? Thanks in advance!
