I resorted to cutting one at a time with a lopers years ago up north when the bamboo that was there when we bought spread way too much. It took me several weeks to clear it, but it got cleared. It will regrow. I was told to pour vegetation killer down the open tubes. It took 2 years of doing this to totally kill off about 6ftx3ft of bamboo. You definitely have to work at it, but it's worth it in the end. I would never plant bamboo, ever. Good luck.
