You would have to dig up the plant and destroy the roots, then make sure that the cactus is not touching the ground anywhere because cacti will root from their areoles. If you remove the cactus then take it to an area where if will not bother you if it takes root again.

About the only animal that will attack a cholla cactus are scale insects that suck the fluids from the plant and can eventually kill it.
Yes, the jumping cholla is a plant and a producer.
During the 1940s and 1950s, they made furniture from the cholla (aka jumping cactus) plant. That included those lamps that had the cactus skeleton as the base. Tequila is made from agave cacti.
A jumping cholla is a plant and produces its own food by photosynthesis.

The life cycle of a jumping cholla cactus typically begins with pollination by insects, followed by the development of seeds inside the fruit. Seeds are dispersed when the fruit dries and breaks open, allowing them to be carried by wind or animals to new locations where they can germinate and grow into new cacti. The cycle then repeats as the new plants mature and produce flowers for pollination.
Except for a few parasitic insects, few animals will even attempt to devour a jumping cholla.
Only a few insects such as scale insects and cochineal bugs will attack a jumping cholla.
The jumping cholla cactus (Cylindropuntia fulgida) is not soft; in fact, it has a spiny, rigid structure. Its segments can detach easily and can "jump" towards animals or people who come too close, leading to painful encounters with its barbed spines. The cactus is adapted to arid environments, and its tough exterior helps it survive in harsh conditions. Overall, while it may appear somewhat flexible, it is primarily a hard and spiky plant.
