How do you get rid of a full-blown infestation of bamboo?

Bamboo is tough. The first thing to do is cut it down to the ground. Then don’t let it regrow, but every time it sends up a shoot, cut it down as soon as you can. If you want to use herbicide, spray the new shoots as they come up, then cut them down a day later. The herbicide will speed up the process, but either way it will take several years to get rid of all of it.
