Answer :

I use a weed whacker to cut up the ivy, but not take it to ground level.  You want to just barely cut the leaves.  Then apply either Round-up or a specific ivy killer.  The weed whacker cuts the leaf and stems to allow the chemical to enter the leaf and stem and kill the plant.  Ivy is a tough plant with a coating on the leaves and stems that is difficult for chemicals to get through without this "pre-treatment". The same treatment might work on the bamboo if you repeat it several times during the growing season.
