I'm afraid that is one remedy under control but the roots are rhizomes, and are huge in size, and knot together hence its name they can fetch a wall down dies down in the winter but the more you chop the roots in an attempt to remove it - you propagate this Japanese invader - as I stated if its in your garden its very bad news - Surveyors check out for it now as it can cause subsidence if it gets close to your house.....AVOID at all cost, if a garden next door to you has one report it ASAP......
You cannot kill a neighbours plant - you can only cut branches that over hang or come through onto your land ....or ask them nicely to remove it.....
Just looked they have changed the law in a very,very large Garden you can get a certificate to grow Japanese Knotweed - totally bonkers imo -
Japanese knotweed can grow up to 10cm per day, and because of this rapacious growth, it has been known to cause damage to building structures and substructures by targeting weak points, such as cracks in masonry, and attempting to grow through them. ... Damage to building foundations. Damage to retaining wall structures.

Yeah I'll have to leave it, though I don't think they'd notice haha
Then its fine just prune anything that grows on your side - do not spray or you could be fined - It's not your plant - I read an article in a local paper on a neighbour who sprayed a hedge with Glyphosate he did not like - he got fined plus had to rebuy the plants.....of his neighbour th cost ran into £1000s - he did it while they were away on holiday ......
As I stated you could politely ask your neighbour to help to remove the Virginia creeper, but if it's 20 feet away just prune everything on your side of your fence as its your land in law......anything in mid air too
A good one for @COYBL25 to laugh at - my plastic miracle grow feeder -I have many the plastic must have perished full to the top with bone meal feed ....- when I switched the tap on pressed the trigger =Bang exploded all over me splattering me the washing on the line plastered - the air was blue mate....
got another bottle out and used the tap water out the hosepipe to wash myself down it was that hot - My goodlady was not very amused.....

Here are the results of feeding and watering -
They`re stashed around the back in the polytunnels, helping to disguise the skunk plants he`s growing.
I've grown a bit with all that ruddy Bone meal feed exploding on me - the plastic Miricle growcarton holder went off with a loud bang - covered head to toe in wet bone meal plus all my wifes washing - she was well chuffed - NOT.... lol
Is that astro turf Joey?
Yes by my bench area, that bench my son hauled it out of a skip, and my engineer friend did it up for about £15.. the off cut I put down as it was hard to mow around it - got an offcut from a car boot for a tenner ages ago .... easy to mow the rest of my lawn now....well spotted .....
Nice full border that Joey - Can't stand it when it's just single plants dotted with loads of bare soil inbetween. Especially when it's tiny little bedding plants.
