These blighters are going rampant in one of my beds. Any ideas to get rid?

Thanks
If I am not on the plot, I am not happy.........

I dug over a bed of them and slabbed it, they still appear between the gaps, tough little blighters.
Been gardening for over 65 years and still learning.

Any ideas at all. They are continuing to spread even over the winter?

Afternoon Compo, I think it we be a matter of either digging them out, or letting them come into full leaf, then spraying them!
Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.

Funny how all these thuggish pretty things don't come with a warning of their desire to go rampant on the packets? Herbs are another bunch who try to rule the plot!
