I dug until I got to the bamboo then tried pulling it out.

As you all know their roots go out far (in all directions), so pulling
took ALOT of effort.

Now they are over running our yard and our neighbors yard again.

What can we do?

Is there a spray that we can use that wont kill our grass but will kill
the bamboo?

Is there a easier way to get rid of them?

Thanks
Its difficult stuff to clear out once its well established. I tried various sprays and spent hours digging it out but to no avail, it always comes back. I have recently employed the use of a three year old panda which is on a chain attatched to the garage. He seems to contain the bamboo quite well aswell as protecting the garage from theives. Hope this helps.
