You don't.
Bulldozer + Fire
Seriously, we got rid of it for a friend by scraping it out with a skid steer roots and all. Still gone and that was close to a decade ago.

Mow it every week. For a couple years. Its soft when it comes up and mows easily. Just keep at it until the roots die but it takes a lot of time.
Buy a panda
Repeated applications of RoundUp and keep it mowed.
I've been fighting it for 12 years, I've yet to win the war.
Lt. Dan can call in some fast movers and nape the entire area.

Yeah I mowed them filled the cavities with Roundup, diesel, remedy, fertilizer, or whatever I had had handy after I mowed and had luck that way.

Just get all female pandas. Or males.
Problem will eventually solve itself, despite what Disney thinks.

Post on OB when you're ready.
I bet bbq panda is delicious.
Or a soil sterilant if it's a small area.
Doesnt like frequent mowing and will die out eventually if you keep it mowed. 5% Roundup pro concentrate solution with 1% MSO, multiple apps. 3-5% Arsenal AC + 1% MSO if you dont have desirable trees or other vegetation in the area. Assuming a yard, Arsenal is a no go.
Border the area around your yard with 24" deep root barrier, otherwise roots outside will continue to invade.
Method I use:
Cut down & dig up all roots possible.
Dig up any new growth you see roots & all. (If you can't do this, hit new growth with mix per micropterus recs)

It's easy to get rid of bamboo in your yard. You just move and get a new one.
I had this in my side yard. 20x40 of it. I had a skid steer take it down and scrape it 6".
Six month later I had the skid steer back out to take another 6". Amazing root systems!

Cut bamboo. Paint ends with Tordon RTU using a foam applicator. Covering the entire area with a tarp to deny it any sunlight for a month or two also helps.
Plant banana trees next to the bamboo and see who wins.
I bought my house in 2015 and the garden was FULL of bamboo.
I hired some guys to cut it down and haul it off.
I then sprayed roundup pretty often for about a year.
no more bamboo and hasn't come back.

THis works.....pour Round up directly into the hollow of the bamboo, repeat couple times.
I'm getting popcorn ready for when the pandas start showing up on trailcams and home security cams.Ulrich said:
