Pesky bluebells

My garden is overrun with bluebells.
I never planted them, they just appeared and spread. I’ve tried digging them out but it’s hard to get the bulbs out.
Any suggestions for getting rid of them?
I don’t mind a few but they are taking over.

If they English Bluebells you can get them out quite easily but if they are Spanish Bluebells they are bigger and tougher. I dislike the Spanish ones but love the delicate English ones. Unfortunately both are almost impossible to remove completely you just have to keep digging them out.

Beastly Spanish ones are such thugs!
