Spray it and keep spraying it.
I can't remember the name of the stuff, but I talked with one of the guys that dies rhe spraying for work, and he reccomended a few different things. Said early spring while it's pushing new shoots is the time to spray bamboo. Well see, I got about a month ish till it starts sprouting again.

Yeah...from what I've read about it you have to go scorched earth on it for a few years to get it under control.

I gotta look at the bottle again, but I'm pretty sure one was some sort of ground clear. He reccomeded 3 products, one was generic round up, which I keep on hand. The other two I can't remember off the top of my head. I had to get this de ionized something or other to add to the mix. Something about it breaks up any oils/waxes and let's the stuff absorb better.

If your generic RU is 41%. You need at least a 5% solution. Mix some non ionic surfactant with it to make it stick better to the leaves.

You think they will follow me threw the trails ,lol
Yes they will/do. The batch we currently have is overly friendly. I can't do anything outside without a group of them following me around. It's to the point where ill lead them into their run so I can do something outside. They do the same thing with our neighbor across the lane. If John out about half the chickens run over to his place to hang out.
