You can either diligently kill bamboo plants as the plants reemerge or you can get rid of the bamboo by mowing it down frequently. If you opt to get rid of bamboo with chemical controls, as soon as you see new bamboo shoots emerge, spray them with the strongest herbicide you can buy.

We have that you can maintain it by cutting it down each month.

My punishment when I was young was to be banished to the front yard to pull bamboo. I wish there was an easy answer but you have to get the runners underground or it just keeps coming back. It might be easier to adjust your mower's blade to the the lowest position and keep it cut down that way.

It's nearly impossible to get rid of. Mowing it down weekly might be easier.

If you try all the recommended advice, you should be able to get rid of most of it, but it will require frequent maintenance. Even when you have a pro tackle it, it comes back.
