A root barrier going from the surface down to below the root level
would probably stop it. You could rent a trencher to prepare a slot
to put it in.


The root barrier must go at least 60cm down. better 100cm to be on the
safe side. Then you'll only have to worry about shoots going _over_
the barrier, but these are easier to exterminate.

Since the bamboo shoots have enough space to go in other directions,
this will probably work even in the long run.
