Sunday Morning Tip for Jan 06: Afraid of Theft? How to Ensure Burglars Will Hate Your Home

Here are some of the ways that you can protect your home and ensure that burglars will hate it.

Get a Dog

A dog can be a huge deterrent when it comes to making your home unwelcoming for a burglar. Posting a sign stating that you have a dog will also help to let everyone know about the presence of it. In some instances, the sign alone may prove to be a deterrent, because a burglar doesn’t know whether your dog is friendly or not. Training your dog to bark when someone comes to the door may also help to protect your home.

Keep It Locked Up

Locking all of your windows and doors will prevent someone from getting into your home uninvited. This also includes any upstairs windows that you have in your home. If you want to leave your windows open at night, install a secondary locking mechanism that will allow you to crack them, but will still prevent unwanted entry.

 

Install a Security System

A security system and the sign stating that you have one are good deterrents. Make sure that you arm your security system even when you’re home. This will alert you if someone tries to get into your home without your knowledge.

Amp Up Your Lighting

Good exterior lighting will make your home less attractive to a burglar. This is because they can’t sneak up without being seen by your neighbors and other people driving by your home. Motion lighting is another option so that you can be alerted if someone is trying to gain entry.

 

Build a Gate

A gate can work in a similar fashion as a locked door. There are a variety of gates that you can consider for your property. You could get simple locking gate for your yard or even a larger gate at the end of your driveway. A gate that can be opened remotely may also serve you well in protecting your home when you’re away. Any type of barrier that prevents entry can be a good way to ensure that those would-be burglar hate your home.

Taking these steps will help to protect your home from an intruder. Using all of them in conjunction will ensure that your home is protected as possible. Common sense can go a long way when it comes to making your home less of a target when it comes to burglars.
