Any advice on getting rid of ground ivy?

I have managed to keep most weeds out of my lawn, except ground ivy. I have a neighbor that practgices no weed control ever, so it makes it difficult. I do not need a PERFECT lawn, and I try to use chemical free care, which works great for the most part, but does nothing for ground ivy. I thought about digging up the yard and starting over, it is that bad. With spring coming I plan on using a preemergent, but I can tell that the ground ivy is just ready to be unaffected and go forth and multiply. I don’t WANT to rip the lawn out, because , as I said, the neighbor does not care for their yard, and I will be right back where I am in three years without a line of defense anyway. SSSSso, can I get rid of it? Anyone know my options??? I am absolutely willing to go chemical here. Would prefer not to, but this is war afterall!
Unfortunately, I do not beleive getting help or inline with the neighbors is an option. I have created a barrier around the fenceline which helps some, but I need to deal with the problem I have IN my yard. I need to know what to use to get rid of it. What kind of spray, chemical or non, that is successful at killing this stuff. It is not an english ivy, I had that stuff and ripped it all out, but that wasn’t in the lawn. It is a creeping ground ivy that flowers in the spring and has pretty much taken over huge sections of lawn. Not the entire lawn, but where it is it pretty much killed out the lawn.
