I saw it on a tv program on bbc where they went out and burnt the nettles with a torch and I think they had to do it a few times to starve the root completely. A lot less effort than digging them out (or pulling them out) and those roots grow bloody deep too! You'd need to do a lot of digging to get them all. Leave one root and they'll come back.
