Complete eradication of running bamboo...

I chose not to use chemicals because I was going to need the dirt/soil to grow grass. We ultimately ended up DIGGING UP ALL of the roots. My neighbor who shares the bamboo laughed at us asking if we thought that was going to do it.

We also dug sheets of metal as a barrier from his yard to ours. Five years later.....NOT ONE SHOOT.

Bamboo is vicious. If you know you don't want it or need to control it, try the metal sheets and/or digging up the roots. You will be successful with these 2 methods. No need to purchase harsh chemicals.
