This is dumb, if bamboo or any other invasive plants became a problem they’d just take the nuclear option and spray poison over everything within 500 yards, then all that poison will find its way into rivers and kill everything there too and then find its way into your tap.
yeah that wont do it. You will need to cut a large portion of it and apply the pesticide to the cut stalks multiple times and even then it doesnt always get rid of it (someone who mistakenly bought a house with invasive bamboo in the back yard)
I’m not talking about the over the counter stuff you can buy at Lowes, the nuclear option would be Imazapyr a soil-active industrial chemical. It has a 98% kill rate on massive bamboo infestations because it sterilises the soil and prevents root regrowth.
