I'm in need of a PROVEN chemical ( or explosive ) that will eradicate bamboo at our place of business. Initially planted to provide screening, it has become very invasive. Boxwoods look very peculiar with bamboo sticking out of the tops of them.
We have dug much of it out but will still need a good control since much root stock is still left in the ground.

I never did a chemical approach to Golden Bamboo.

We just dug it all out, and dug out new spreading plants as the emerged.

One particular location took I know 3 seasons, may have been a 4th of just a couple sprouts and then there was no more..........ever.

Somebody has got to know a chemical approach to bamboo!!!
Really, our country has used napalm in Vietnam so there has to be something to kill bamboo.
It's growing so fast it just swallowed my trailer.

The best way to get rid of bamboo is to attack the entire plant. Cut off each stem about 10" above ground level and immediately paint it with straight Round Up. The Round Up moves down the stem with the sap killing the whole plant. You may have to do this a few times to get everything.
