Is it a small enough patch that you could dig it all out? Mint spreads through rhizome roots, so if you dig out most of the roots, you’ll be able to easily manage any new roots. It’s also just preferable to the poison methods when possible

Robinia are taking over unmaintained areas like construction grounds and the edge of the forrest. Some in the forest are full size.
What can I do against them spreading?

Fuckinnn black locust. You’re talking about places off your property right? Rough.
One thing is spreading awareness that non native plants are bad and invasive plants are majorly damaging. I think focussing on native plants in someone’s home is a great angle. Gardening is something actually in people’s control and thus something they would be willing to consider. Notable points I try to get across:
Beyond that? You’d have to also start specific campaigns against specific invasive plants and go do group attacks on those plants. Your local green organization will usually be good for organizing and getting volunteers, as well as navigating where you can actually go. It’s a big effort and a lot of work, especially for such noxious plants like full grown trees. But it can make a difference over time
