Bamboo -- I don't know what to do about bamboo that has already invaded a house. But if you add a root barrier, make sure it is angled not vertically but away from the plant, so that as the rhizome travels horizontally, it has to grow upward when it encounters the barrier. If the barrier is vertical or angled the opposite way, the rhizome will grow down (and then up again when it can).
