Default how to stop rampant bamboo growth

Are you kidding? It is a weed like you cannot imagine.....once it
grows, get ready with roundup as it is unstoppable otherwise.
I hear it can destroy septic systems in the area.

I battled it for years until I found this cure.

when the shoots come in the spring, let them get 8-12" high.
Then get a long metal drill. Break off the shoot and then drill down
the center unti you hit some resistance. Then drill about 1/2"
further. Now pour a teaspoon of Roundup in there - Wham!!!
That will kill the shoot and the root underneath. This works!!!
