Dig up clumps of wild garlic with a shovel or trowel. Lift the bulbs and roots from the ground, shake the excess soil off and discard the entire clump -- do not compost. The roots and bulbs don't spread very deep or wide into the ground and should be easy to remove. The best time to complete this step is the day after a light rain when the soil is soft.
Apply a postemergent herbicide, such as 2,4-D dicamba, glyphosate or imazaquin, that is effective on wild garlic. Apply the herbicide in the fall per manufacturer directions when plants are about 8 inches tall. Reapply in March or April. Note that it could take several years to kill all the wild garlic in your landscape using this method.
Hoe the area where the wild garlic is growing once every two to three weeks throughout the winter and spring. This damages the underground bulb and may kill the entire plant. It will also prevent the bulbs from forming new bulbs.
