There is no such thing as "Michigan bamboo".

If it is bamboo, about the only way you can really kill it is to cut it
down to the ground, let it shoot and just before the shoot starts to
leaf out you cut it down again. Repeat until it stops doing it. It
may take a few seasons to kill it, especially if it is well
established.

A picture would go a long way towards determining if it is actually
bamboo.

Just on a guess go and google this plant- Japanese knotweed or
Polygonum cuspidatum and get bact to us as to whether this is Michigan
Bamboo.
