As Rusty says, timing is the thing. Thistles spend the spring and early summer pushing nutrients up from the root mass to put out good seed heads. Then the process reverses and they flow nutrients down to the root mass to build it up again for next year.
You need to spray a good trans locating spray that works slowly (Roundup is one of the best) and spray it at the right time. At budding or later.
Spraying them in spring you mostly just burn the green tops off, you dont damage the root mass. They will come right back. Any of the sprays that show results in just a couple hours also dont work so well. you want a slow acting herbicide that will be carried down into the he root mass before it starts the kill.
If you get the spray to move down into the root mass in late summer -then- you will have an effect on them!
Still, a well established patch will likely take a couple years to eradicate. They are such tough plants.
