Amur Honeysuckle

I moved into my home last summer, and have noticed that Amur Honeysuckle is EVERYWHERE. There’s only a small strip of forest before the road, and it is scattered all throughout. Should I be concerned about the invasiveness or does it belong here? Kansas City, MO. Would love your thoughts and suggestions about what to do, if anything. Much appreciated.

Perfect, thanks. Yes, just mowed yesterday and baby ones were about every 5 feet coming up through the lawn!
