Did they leave a big pile of dust?
I've seen a few pieces of bamboo with some sort of mite or beetle that leaves a lot of dust behind. It your suff is indoors, try a scented ant or roach spray. If it's a large piece of bamboo or furniture, you may have to drill a hole in it to spray the poison inside of it. There is a type of spray called "Termout" or something like Termnix... at Home Depot that has a special nozzle on it. You just put the nozzle in the bug or drill hole, hit the valve and it foams up. Clean the dust away and keep poisoning until no sign of them appear for several weeks.
One of the problems that I've heard about those guys is that they spread all over, so you need to do something right away.
