My backyard neighbor has an unkempt privet which is sending suckers into my flower bed and yard. What can I do to remove them and discourage further invasion?

Hi Stan, Unfortunately there isnt much you can do other than cut them out as the creep. you could try putting a piece of galvanized metal or plastic 10 to 12 inches deep into the soil to keep them from creeping too far. good luck, sandy
