新西兰昨天看房差点踩到雷
在新西兰
昨天看了一个crosslease，60年代的老房子，屋况勉强可以。看房子的时候发现carport的地面的板油都坏了，碎成一小块一小块的，整个carport的地面就像被重型卡车压过很多遍似的，板油块都翻起来了。一开始以为是年久失修，但是想想也不对，为什么整个院子只有这个角落里这样。后来才发现，原来是竹子。carport后面是fence，两者中间长了一排很高很密的竹子。竹子的根和芽从地下钻出来把整个carport的地面都给顶起来了，虽然长出地面的部分都被房主给剪掉了，但是还是可以看到痕迹。
听中介介绍，花点钱把竹子清理一下就可以了。但是我回来上网查了一下，发现根本没那么简单。首先肯定要上挖掘机，所以银子肯定少不了。其次，也是更重要的，carport是跟crosslease邻居共有的，挖竹子首先要拆carport，还要拆板油地面，更蛋疼的是，竹子长在fence那里，所以肯定还要拆fence，还要挖邻居的地。然后等这一切都折腾完了，还没法确定是不是挖干净了。。。
后来想一想，这基本上就是mission impossible，但是不挖的话过两年就会窜到屋子下面了（现在竹子离屋子的距离可能还不到2米）。所以现在庆幸没下offer，差一点就签了。好悬啊！我看其他人去openhome，都没有把注意力放在这个竹子上，只有我围着它转了好几圈。所以我猜最后肯定会有人在完全不了解问题的严重性的情况下把它买下来。在此提醒各位。。。
=======================================
给你们上个视频，就知道竹子是怎么长的了。虽然不是所有的品种都如此厉害，但是蔓延基本只是速度上的差别而已。视频里最开始栽的小竹苗，最后长的遍地都是。如果这个位置正好在你家的fence附近，遭殃的不仅仅是你自己，还有你的邻居。如果这个位置是在你的房子或deck附近，你的deck肯定完蛋了，房子的地基也会受到影响。当然有人说用机油或柴油来杀竹子，你要确定你良心能过得去就行，或者你确定这块地你以后肯定不种其他东西。至于如果有人跟你说每隔3个月剪一下就OK，我猜他是忽悠你的吧？

房子好， 位置好， 这个无非是 花钱而已， 把预算打进去。 价钱合适， 这都不是事儿

竹子难搞， 但是也不是能搞

吧？

哈哈哈哈哈

地值钱 房子可以拆

这问题不大，喷些除杂草药，喷多点就能杀死，我家有两棵至少30年树了，一课就是长到车库，我把树干锯断，然后，洒了不少药，整个树死掉了，然后把树砍了。另外一课树，我本来没有想杀死它，因为树旁边长了很多杂草，我买的那个喷壶，喷嘴坏掉了。我也懒得费时间了，直接弄一点浓缩药水，兑了一大桶水，周边全部倒了一圈，没想到，连杂草带树根全部杀死了，这课树慢慢的树叶全部落了，树皮也龟裂了，几个月彻底死翘翘。我这几天正在砍树干呢，这树的直径大概接近40厘米的。如果想杀死，就是先拿剪刀或者电锯，砍，砍完之后，猛倒除草剂，这树的枝叶都连接的，他们会吸收除草剂，慢慢的全部都死掉。一天的活，加成本20刀除草剂。。。

太不环保了。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。
评论
无非是花钱+费事+费时。其实这个世界上的事情都是这么回事，问题是值不值得。
评论
主要是设计到crosslease的邻居和隔壁的邻居的地，而且隔壁还是政府的地。。。
评论
隔壁是政府的地，竹子也长在他们那一边。我要是用柴油把竹子灭了，政府就该来敲我家门了。
评论
问题是地不值钱
评论
这个，竹子跟树，不是一个概念吧？
评论
大树都能杀死，竹子可想而知了，更easy了。。。
评论
打电话问问
评论
不是什么大问题 只要便宜
机油也成，尤其换下来的旧机油 效果更好，人还弄不死几棵竹子么。
评论
同意九楼的，除草剂。。。。。。。
评论
竹子比树费事，但也可以处理啦
评论
借你的地方说个真正的雷：有一年看见一个房，里面木头到处是虫子咬的小孔。房主提供的文件里没说是处理过没有。如果真的是白蚁，咬成了那个样子估计房子得拆。

一般来说那个叫什么 不是白蚁的那个 虫子 Borer/????
Borer
You may not notice these beetles except when they collect on the window sills or corners of the rooms in your house, but you will notice the tell tale flight holes and damage to wood around your home.

Identifying
Common Borer - Also known as: Furniture Beetle, Woodworm Beetle, Bora Beetle, Anobium punctatum and Native Borer Leanobium flavomaculatum.
House borer (both common and the native ) are pests of major economic importance in New Zealand, the significance of which is not yet adequately recognised. As New Zealand houses get older the damage to timbers accumulates and attacked timbers become progressively weaker. It is not uncommon for weatherboards, floorboards, joists and other structural timbers to need replacing due to weakness caused by borer. The holes and labyrinths created by borer larvae also allow water to penetrate many timbers and increases rot by fungi.
The larvae (woodworm), after 2 - 4 years spent tunnelling inside the wood will exit as the adult beetle via a round hole 1 - 2mm in diameter. Cutting out this trapdoor is their final wood destroying act. They emerge in order to breed, will not eat any more timber and will die within 3 - 4 weeks.
Life cycles
Anobium spp.
Egg-larvae 14-28 days
Larvae-pupae 2-3 years
Pupae-adult 21-60 days
Adult-beetle 3-4 weeks
> Exits October - February.
> Rounded holes 1-2mm.
> Attacks only soft sapwoods.
Other Borer - The Longhorn borer beetles include the Two-Toothed Longhorn, Ambeodontus tristis, Burnt Pine Longhorn and Huhu grub beetles. The grubs or larvae of these beetles feed on dead timber and the Two-Tooth is a major pest damaging timbers in buildings and damaging timber in the timber industry.
Longhorn beetle family is a large and diverse beetle family, with 180+ species endemic to New Zealand. They are long, with narrow bodies and very long antennae. The adult beetles may be found on flowers where they feed on nectar but the adults of some species adults do not feed at all. The huhu beetle is one of the largest New Zealand beetles.
Because the Longhorn beetles are much larger than house borer beetles the labyrinths and flight holes of these beetles is correspondingly larger. The larvae of Two-Tooth borer often cause severe damage to rimu floors and other timbers. As well as being larger than common borer flight holes, the Two Tooth Borer flight holes are approximately 3-4mm across, the flight holes of Longhorn beetles tend to be oval rather than round.
Damage caused by the Two Tooth Borer beetle larvae and other longhorn beetles can be controlled by the same treatment as for common house borer.
Ambeodontus tristis (New Zealand Native)
> Two Toothed Longhorn.
> 5 - 7 years inside wood.
> Exits March-May.
> Oval holes 2mm x 6mm.
> Attacks soft & heart wood.
Solving
To get rid of borer follow these steps:
Proof bare wood > Treat any bare wood with NO Borer spray. The solvents used with NO Borer concentrate and ready to use will penetrate deep into the timber and in normal circumstances protect the wood for many years. Small areas where solvent cannot be used can be treated with NO Borer ready to use trigger spray.
Proof coated wood > Inject flight holes in painted, varnished or polished timbers with NO Borer Spray Injector. The aerosol forces insecticide into the labyrinth created by the borer larva, killing any larva in the labyrinth or nearby. It also prevents adult beetles laying eggs in the flight hole.
Stop > During each flight season (October-May) set off NO Bugs Borafume fumigator (borer bomb) in roof voids and sub-floor areas to flush out and kill adult borer.
Ventilate > Borer prefer timber that has some moisture in it. Ensure that your sub-floor is dry and well ventilated. Check for plumbing leaks and unblock all air vents.
Seal > Check for leaks in the roof and if you have old terracotta or concrete tiles. These can act like sponges soaking up water and increasing the relative humidity of roof voids. Check that tiles are well sealed with NO Leaks Masonry Sealer to prevent moisture penetration.

Did you know
Other wood boring insects causing damage to building timbers include the Longhorn Beetles such as the Two-Toothed Longhorn and Burnt Pine Longhorn beetles. These are much larger beetles than the common house borer and consequently their larvae produce larger labyrinths and flight holes. Two-Tooth Borer in particular cause major damage to building timber and readily attack rimu. The following measures will control Longhorn damage as well as common borer and other wood boring insects.
Tips
The solvents used with NO Borer concentrate and ready to use to carry insecticide deep into the timbers will leave a solvent smell for some days. Ventilation will help to dissipate the odour more rapidly.
NO Bugs Bug Bombs can be used in place of NO Bugs Borafume as the borer bombs.

给你们上个视频，就知道竹子是怎么长的了。虽然不是所有的品种都如此厉害，但是蔓延基本只是速度上的差别而已。视频里最开始栽的小竹苗，最后长的遍地都是。如果这个位置正好在你家的fence附近，遭殃的不仅仅是你自己，还有你的邻居。如果这个位置是在你的房子或deck附近，你的deck肯定完蛋了，房子的地基也会受到影响。当然有人说用机油或柴油来杀竹子，你要确定你良心能过得去就行，或者你确定这块地你以后肯定不种其他东西。至于如果有人跟你说每隔3个月剪一下就OK，我猜他是忽悠你的吧？

捡便宜的好机会，不过估计有些人都没发现有这个问题。。。哈哈
评论
恩，反正我就是提醒一下大家而已。因为我也是第一次遇到。如果别人觉得无所谓，我也无所谓啊
评论
这个比较不好发现，要是比如flood zone那些比较多人会看到又不知道怎么理解的，反而有便宜能捡。一部分的人会被吓跑
评论
楼主好心人哪！谢谢提醒。
评论
其实那个flood zone也是有很多人不懂，比如我认识的一个中介，她自己的房子就是在flood zone，她自己买的时候都不知道。直到她要加建/改建的时候，才知道麻烦。
另外，我前段时间看了一个房子，CV很低，隔壁同样的房子情况一样，刚成交，成交价也很低。我就奇怪，一查才知道这两个房子完全在flood zone里面。过两天，结果有人竟然出了很高的价钱把它买了，比隔壁成交价还高了6%+。虽然这个价钱买同一条街非flood zone的房子算是占到一点点便宜，但是买到flood zone，我认为肯定是亏的。
所以捡便宜掉坑里的大有人在。
