Hello,

The neighbor up the hill decided to plant some bamboo to cover the
steep hill behind his house. It has quickly come down the hill over
the years and it dangerously close to my yard.

What can I do to stop this junk? I don't think much of anything, is
there? Do local governments sometimes ban this junk?

Thanks!

As you will see every time the issues of fences, adjoining hedges and
boundaries comes up the law is not identical over the world and this is an
international news group. So you need to consult your own local gov
authority on the matter. Glyphosate will knock it down if applied
appropriately but as with physical removal the problem is any bits remaining
can re-shoot and start the whole process again. Trying to control it at the
fence line is a recipe for misery as it will just keep coming every year.

Whatever you do consult the neighbour first, you never know they might be
cooperative.
