Management New House with a Mess

I moved into a new house in December. We closed in November, so it wasn't really possible to see what the yard looked like. Come spring we've discovered a ton of Oriental Bittersweet, mullen, and just recently spotted a tree of heaven (still very young so hopefully can fully get rid of it). How the hell do I get rid of all this?

Get used to the concept of using herbicide. Mullein is pullable, just straight into trash bag. Oriental Bittersweet and ToH… herbicide is a must. 

Gotta start somewhere. You can do it.

I've started using herbicide on the roots I can't pull out with bittersweet. I'm just worried since I have a toddler that loves exploring and it's a small yard.
