About Gardnerville's Gardnerville Ranchos

I was assigned a new REO yesterday. I went right over to the property to check it out. The first task is always an occupancy check. I was relieved to find that the previous owners had vacated the property and that there were no abandoned pets or animals. I am always concerned that I am going to find a pet that has been left behind. Whew!

The house is a little rough and they left a lot of junk. I mean really a lot of junk! Oh well, the field service company will trash it out, clean it and then I can make a list of repairs for the bank.

There was an irrigation valve box that was flooded and had created a pond around it. It has been that way for a while because there are pollywogs in the water. I am not sure how long it takes to get pollywogs but they are there. I turned off the irrigation stop and waste so there is no longer a source of water.

I found what was a pond with a waterfall in the back yard. There is still a lot of water in the pond although the water is not circulating. It is stagnant water, perfect for mosquitos to breed in. When I got back to the office I went to the Douglas County web site and found a section on Mosquito Abatement. Mosquitoes are a concern to us here in the Carson Valley.

I called and they said they would send someone out right away. Later today I received a call back from the mosquito abatement department at the county. They found the water and treated it for mosquitoes and told me the treatment would last for 30 days and to call them back if the home hasn't sold by then.

They asked me to tell all my real estate friends about their service and how important it is to keep these disease spreading insects from breeding. I hope you will remember to think about stagnant water and the hazards of mosquitoes when you take on vacant properties.
