If it was dead, why spray it?

We know. We were waiting for you to spot it.

That’s what makes both posts important.

You think YOU’ve got problems…

I moved here in the dead of Winter
1st thing I noticed on my way to the tip
was that the fool next door had planted a
Privacy Fence of live Running-Type Bamboo!

I just came in from the tip again, only to find these
3 centimeter shoots breaking through our entire lawn. >:-/

Hyvar X it. Treat it like Vietnam. There’s not much that agent orange won’t kill.

Whichever of those methods you apply, send the neighbour the bill. If he doesn’t pay, Then cut and paint agent orange on it. It will track all the roots of trees in his yard and kill the lot, apart from his lemon tree and passionfruit vine.

I’ve never seen what else grows in their yard,
owing to the effectiveness of said “Privacy Barrier”. >:-p

He’ll be getting the rhizomes popping up his side too. Your landlord should negotiate with the neighbour. A barrier should have been put in along the fenceline before the bamboo went in. What comes up on the landlord’s side of the fence is open slather. If he wabts to nuke it from orbit, he is perfectly within his rights. If he uses Hyvar and it kills the other plants which have roots that cross, then it will be a longer slower process. The Glyphosate solution will only edge the plant. This may be the safest bet, to mow or cut and paint with glyphosate. It will die back to where the plant can cut it off. To kill all the bamboo with Glyphosate, every leaf surface and stem will need to be painted.

That’s because..
“Danger!
Do not fall into the trap of using soil-active brush killers such as Velpar (hexazinone), Arsenal(imazapyr), Hyvar (bromacil), Tordon (picloram) or Spike (tebuthiuron) in home landscapes
.
It is too risky
.
If these products are applied over the roots of desirable plants, injury or death will result.
The roots of large trees extend far beyond their crown width”. https://www.uaex.edu/publications/pdf/FSA-6124.pdf
.

Quote from source:
Stimulating new, tender growth that will absorb the glyphosate is essential. Cut
stems to the ground and spray new growth whenever it reaches 18 to 24 inches.
Repeat each time new shoots appear
.

By the size 3c diameter at ground level (so far)
plus the extent of the area covered, aprox 30 meters
I’m left to assume it’s well established below the surface.

The colony is spreading from a dense stand on the far side
of a chain link fence. Agreed, the neighbor SHOULD HAVE
dug-in a barrier along HIS Side of the fence line prior to
planting a creeping/spreading variety of ornamental bamboo.

FYI
We have 2 pre-teen children living here that I frankly was
looking forward to seeing them move to the great outdoors
to play all day incl. weekends, instead of over my head. :-(

IOW although the cut and paint option + barrier is indicated
AFAIC
application of potentially carcinogenic herbicides is not an option.
but I can merely make a recommendation, as it’s not my property

There’s application and application. Note I’d never suggest spraying glyphosate. Painting it onto exposed cambium is not going to get up anyone’s nose. Being systemic, once it has passed through the plant it has biodegraded.

yes, I “get” cutting & spraying to draw the herbacide into the root
(same way applies to finalizing poison ivy, best done in Autumn)

It wasn’t me who suggested Nuking(defoliating) the entire area
as was done in Viet Nam, besides, DuPOnt/Bayer/Monsanto 24D
had been outlawed here for decades.
IF the LL handles it as ham-fistedly as he has everything else, he
will either simple take a push moer to it, or SPRAY it out of orbit.

It is what he faces having not consulted your landlord.

oops, I meant CUT & PAINT… duh
