Let me baby-sit it. I can kill cacti. By the way, I've no idea what an Agapanthus is:)

The easiest way is to spray them with roundup. The plants must be growing and healthy as the chemical gets to the roots through the foliage. It may take several sprayings as the dormant plants sprout through but after six months or so you should get them all. Use a drop a soap and i litlle water soluble fertilizer with the chemical the aid in its effectiveness.

Ouch, sounds like a tough job.
"The alternative is to dig them out. It's hard work as the plants form dense mats, so the sooner you get into it the easier it will be. You can't just leave rhizomes and tops sitting about as they continue their evil work. You can dry them and then burn them (but not in the high risk fire season) or bury them in landfill.
As a stop-gap measure, you can cut off flower heads to stop the seeds spreading. Seed heads need to be buried, burned or removed."
"Response from Mitre 10: You can spray with Activated Amitrol. We also suggest that you remove the flowers before they set seed. Dig out the small plants as they sprout - hard work, but worth it to prevent a takeover. (Alternatively, you could just chop the new plants off below the surface of the soil and apply amitrol to the cut surface.)"

Most plants love water.
If you pour buckets of salt water you can kill a tree!
The salt water dehydrates the plant and kills it.

Why would you want to? If it's what it really is, it is a pretty flower.
