I shall try the dusting in sulfur idea of hers but I sharply disagree that she should waste the mother rhizomes.
Maybe put them in the compost heap but check on them for new growth in the Spring. I have so often found new rigorous plants growing from such decrepit examples.
Also I break away the segments rather than cutting them. I think that helps.

Yes indeed! Let the pods dry and plant the seeds in well-drained soil in a pot. For other scapes, do remove them to keep the plant healthy.
