So the bamboo is coming from the property behind my house which is a private school, they’ve been helpful and came out with a backhoe and removed all the bamboo and rhizomes that they could see. The rhizomes have spread to my property and I’m starting to see bamboo shoots come up through my lawn, even more since they removed the bamboo from their property.

Once they removed it on their side I started to cut the shoots that are popping up again on both their property and mine, and then hitting it with glyphosate where I cut it. On some of them I’ve been able to use a syringe and apply the solution in the hollow part of the bamboo. When I can’t do this I just apply the solution right over where I cut it.

I’ve located several rhizomes just below the surface on my lawn, cut them, and then cut out a chunk to make an opening and then applied glyphosate in the opening I made.

If I keep doing this to shoots that pop us, cutting them after they grow a couple feet and then hitting it with glyphosate where I cut it, cutting the rhizomes I find in my lawn, will this eventually kill it? Is there something else I should be doing or using a different method to apply the solution?
