Maybe roundup gel would work? Whatever you try i sgoing to be a lot of effort.
I ended up digging up the front lawn and then reseeding it.

Couch is a PITA  :(

Lift the couch grass as much as possible with a lawn rake before cutting. Use a screwdriver to dig it out, or cut it off at the base of each plant. Work around the edges of each patch first to stop it spreading any further. Do it gradually, it takes a while but it can be done.
