Generally, it only takes one or two applications to kill it.

Part of my "makeover" will be putting down landscape fabric and/or black plastic and then a mulch layer on top, so I don't anticipate that much mint making a comeback, mainly around the edges and against the foundation where it can push through past the edge of the barrier layer.
