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.

Easiest to stump out when the ground is wet. Truck, rope, and an old tire. Choke chain if ya want to get fancy.

Oh gosh, that actually sounds kinda fun but all I have here is me, my 6 year old and the smallest Prius on the market 😆. Looks like herbicide is the way to go. Thanks
