Industry Comment

More and more people are looking to Real Estate for their investments as

bank interest rates remain low and are expected to

drop even further.

Real estate has always been a sound investment in Ashburton with many of the owners we property manage for being, not just from Ashburton and the surrounding district, but an increasing number now are coming from outside of the district and also overseas.

Several of these investors from out of the district and overseas have property investments totalling more than 10 properties which shows the confidence in our district for real estate investment.

Most people investing in real estate start by firstly either, 1) getting a recent market appraisal to determine approximate value to then decide whether or not to proceed on and get a registered valuation or 2) get a registered valuation to determine value for bank purposes.

From this valuation, and with consultation with your bank, a

budget is worked out to determine the level of price to invest in.

At the moment the weekly rental mediums for the Ashburton District (source: HNZ) is at:

1) 2 brm flat = $2772) 2 brm house = $2953) 3 brm house = $3454) 4 brm house = $387Several investors have also started

renting their properties out per room! This is normally done by partially or fully furnishing the home with power/internet and phone

often being part of the arrangement. The room rate can vary from $120

to $200 per week, depending on what is on offer.

So, for a sound investment in real estate call your local real estate company and have a chat, it's the start to your real estate portfolio.

BedbugsCleaning

Bedbugs – what are they?

Bedbugs are small, oval, brownish insects that live on the blood of animals or humans. Adult bedbugs have flat bodies about the size of an apple seed. After feeding, however, their bodies swell and are a reddish colour.

Bedbugs do not fly, but they can move quickly over floors, walls, and ceilings. Female bedbugs may lay hundreds of eggs, each of which is about the size of a speck of dust, over a lifetime.

Immature bedbugs, called nymphs, shed their skin five times before reaching maturity and require a meal of blood before each shedding. Under favourable conditions the bugs can develop fully in as little as a month and produce three or more generations per year.

Although they are a nuisance, they do not transmit diseases.

Where bed bugs hideBedbugs may enter your home undetected through luggage, clothing, used beds and couches, and other items. Their flattened bodies make it possible for them to fit into tiny spaces, about the width of a credit card. Bedbugs do not have nests like ants or bees, but tend to live in groups in hiding places. Their initial hiding places are typically in mattresses, box springs, bed frames, and headboards where they have easy access to people to bite in the night.

Over time, however, they may scatter through the bedroom, moving into any crevice or protected location. They may also spread to nearby rooms or apartments.

Because bedbugs live solely on blood, having them in your home is not a sign of dirtiness. You are as likely to find them in immaculate homes and hotel rooms as in filthy ones.

When bedbugs biteBedbugs are active mainly at night and usually bite people while they are sleeping. They feed by piercing the skin and withdrawing blood through an elongated beak. The bugs feed from three to 10 minutes to become engorged and then crawl away unnoticed.

Most bedbug bites are painless at first, but later turn into itchy welts. Unlike flea bites that are mainly around the ankles, bedbug bites are on any area of skin exposed while sleeping. Also, the bites do not have a red spot in the centre like flea bites do.

People who don't realise they have a bedbug infestation may attribute the itching and welts to other causes, such as mosquitoes. To confirm bedbug bites, you must find and identify the bugs themselves.

Signs of infestationIf you wake up with itchy areas you didn't have when you went to sleep, you may have bedbugs, particularly if you got a used bed or other used furniture around the time the bites started.

Other signs that you have bedbugs include:

• Blood stains on your sheets or pillowcases

• Dark or rusty spots of bedbug excrement on sheets and mattresses, bed clothes, and walls

• Bedbug faecal spots, egg shells, or shed skins in areas where bedbugs hide

• An offensive, musty odour from the bugs' scent glands

If you suspect an infestation, remove all bedding and check it carefully for signs of the bugs or their excrement. Remove the dust cover over the bottom of the box springs and examine the seams in the wood framing. Peel back the fabric where it is stapled to the wood frame.

Also, check the area around the bed, including inside books, telephones or radios, the edge of the carpet, and even in electrical outlets. Check your closet, because bedbugs can attach to clothing. If you are uncertain about signs of bedbugs, call an exterminator, who will know what to look for.

How to fix the problemGetting rid of bedbugs begins with cleaning up the places where bedbugs live.

This should include the following:• Clean bedding, linens, curtains,

and clothing in hot water and dry them on the highest dryer setting. Place stuffed animals, shoes, and other items that can't be washed in the dryer and run on high for 30 minutes.

• Use a stiff brush to scrub mattress seams to remove bedbugs and their eggs before vacuuming.

• Vacuum your bed and surrounding area frequently. After vacuuming, immediately place the vacuum cleaner bag in a plastic bag and place in garbage can outdoors.

• Encase mattress and box springs with a tightly woven, zippered cover to keep bedbugs from entering or escaping. Bedbugs may live up to a year without

feeding, so keep the cover on your mattress for at least a year to make sure all bugs in the mattress are dead.

• Repair cracks in plaster and glue down peeling wallpaper to get rid of places bedbugs can hide.

• Get rid of clutter around the bed.

If your mattress is infested, you may want to get rid of it and get a new one, but take care to rid the rest of your home of bedbugs or they will infest your new mattress.

Who doesn’t like to receive a few

compliments about how great their garden is

looking? I do.And I bet you do too. So this summer, if you’d like to astound, amaze and astonish your friends with the colour and beauty in your garden, try growing asters.

The bright coloured flowers come in several shades of pink and purple, red and white and look fantastic in the ground but also make great cut flowers. There are different varieties – the dwarf which grows to around 25cm high and the tall variety which grows to around 75cm high.

These striking looking flowers are also popular with bees, butterflies and other beneficial insects.

This makes them great for planting in a spot where you need extra pollination – like your vege garden.

They’re also a perfect companion plant for growing next to roses, petunias, marigolds and cosmos because they all like the same conditions – full sun and free-

draining soil.

Pick up some aster seedlings from your local supermarket, DIY or gardening centre. Alternatively, head online and get the seedlings delivered direct to your door.

Once you’ve found the right spot to plant, dig in some compost, and blood and bone fertiliser. To get the amazing effect you’re after, plant them quite close together – no more than 20cm apart for dwarf and 40cm for the tall variety.

Once you’ve planted all your seedlings, apply a bit of mulch, or some more of your compost to prevent them drying out.

Remember, not to overhead water to avoid them catching any diseases.

In around six to eight weeks even you’ll be complimenting yourself for having the foresight to plant asters.

Astound, astonish & amaze with asters
