Everyone here loves it too.you may be barking up the
wrong tree.just kidding,bamboo cant grow roots without
leaves,so by mowing or just cutting them off at ground level,you should be able stop further spread.
or you could just let it grow and become one of us.

Lighten_bug,

The burden to control it should be your neighbor's with a barrier or by rhizome pruning not yours. But as Rob says, if you cut the shoot or culm, that one will not regrow, although others might initially shoot from the same rhizome. It is easiest if you cut them, or just step on the new shoots, as they are emerging from the ground, then they will quickly rot away. Once they branch and harden, they take much longer to rot.

It is probably a running bamboo which means it will eventually stop shooting until next spring. Good luck.
