Neighbour’s Bamboo Trespassing Into My Garden

Question

My neighbour planted bamboo near my side and raised border. They didn’t put it in a pot until I noticed it was coming in my garden. Unfortunately I don’t think they have pulled the roots properly. They claim, however, is not invasive because it’s clumping. I pulled a massive root from under the fence. Is this running or clumping bamboo? If it’s running, can I get rid of it with systemic weed killer (stump killer) or do I need a professional to deal with it? Many thanks

Unfortunately, with things of this nature it will be best to contact your local council or authorities on the subject. Issues of this sort can be complex and require legal assistance that we cannot provide.
