I have researched bamboo in FL and there is no law against planting it but there are current law suits being filed for property damage in FL. Bamboo is very invasive and if the roots grow under a slab they can in fact cause damage. Has anyone had this experience or experience with an invasive plant like this being planted and possibly causing damage to your property. Our next step is to contact an attorney. The roots on my property must be removed and a steel or concrete barrier installed in order to stop the growth. If that happens there will be expense that I intend to try and recoup through legal action.

Look it up on the internet. Bamboo can be killed. common broad-leaf weed killer 24d will kill it if you used a concentrated solution. Contacting an attorney, sounds like it is already a hostile encounter. OOPS I didn't know copper sulfate on the roots would kill it off. Commonly sold for dealing with tree roots into drain lines.
