Getting Rid of Raspberry Plants

How do you get rid of raspberry plants? These are non-fruit bearing plants. I keep cutting them back and have sprayed with weed killer and bleach.

Thanks for your help.

I planted some raspberries and found the canes wandered too close to our pressure-treated wood fence to be safe (the arsenic in the fence leeches into the ground. Ugh). I found I had to dig up the entire section of garden that contained the canes and runners and remove them by hand. If you don't get them all up, they start again the following year.

What do you use to get rid of pesky raspberry plants that are old and sprouting up all over the yard? How do you remove old roots after cutting them back?
