Hand pulling after rain has come down is the best, as the soil will be loose enough for the entire roots to come out with the snake plants.

The reason plants are labeled “invasive” is that they crowd out native plants, not the other way around

It’s a native plant that deer don’t eat. If I didn’t have this plant at my woods edge it would be all barberry, dock, burdock, orchard grass, autumn olive, burning bush, Japanese honeysuckle, stilt grass… all the actual invasives.

Are you sure that’s not native white snakeroot?
It’s one of the few that the deer will ignore and will hold out against anything but the invasive vines (even stiltgrass)

Isn’t white snakeroot native?

Are we talking about White Snakeroot or Shite Snakeroot?

Assuming you mean Ageratina altissima, it’s native. But, if you don’t want so much of it, you can pull part of it and plant an equally aggressive native like Goldenrod (Solidago spp) or mountain mints (Pycnanthemum spp).
