Can I pour vinegar on the roots of bamboo to kill it?

I have invasive golden bamboo. It cannot be dug up because the ground is full of river rocks having been a river bed in a long ago past. It is everywhere. I tried an electric chain saw and it couldn't get through the stalks. I tried a bit of herbicide but had no result. I'm desperate.

Have you tried any of the weed killers at the hardware store? They generally kill everything but I know bamboo is so big and tall. Might be worth a try.
Sure you can try it, the recipe is a gallon of vinegar, 1/4 cut of salt and a squirt of dawn dishwashing liquid, I believe. Good luck to you. I have seen how invasive it can be.
My aunt pours bleach on poison ivy to kill it. It may kill things around it through!
