Fertilome Brush Killer and Stump Killer is not labeled to control bamboo, so it would not be recommended. You can use Round Up QuickPro at the highest listed usage rate to help eliminate bamboo. You will be required to cut the bamboo down to a short stump and then apply the Round Up QuickPro. It can take several applications to achieve the desired results. We also recommend that you contact your local cooperative extension office and speak to the master gardener on staff for further advice. Bamboo can be VERY difficult to eliminate, but the master gardener may have some helpful tips for you.
