Ensure Unbeatable Home Security with These Surprising Daily Measures!
Introduction
Every day we keep hearing about home invasions and break-ins. People being tied up, bound, and gagged, and some even shot. All this happens every day in the state. But it’s hard to prevent when you don’t know what you’re up against.
With these simple tips and tricks, you can help ensure that you’re doing everything possible to protect your loved ones.
Do daily walk-throughs.
Do daily walk-throughs. Look for anything that looks out of place or that doesn’t belong.
Call the police immediately and leave the area if you find something suspicious. Don’t try to handle it yourself unless it is an emergency situation where there is a chance of danger or harm.
You should walk through your home when you first get up in the morning and before you go to bed at night, but also throughout the day if possible, especially if you have young children who could be more likely targets for abductions or other crimes against children (CAC).
Keep your landscaping maintained and trimmed.
Regularly maintain your landscaping, and be sure to trim any overgrown bushes or trees that might serve as hiding places for would-be intruders.
Make sure all of your outdoor lighting is working properly and is positioned in such a way that it illuminates any areas you want to make visible at night, turn your lights on a few minutes before it gets dark, so they have time to warm up and shine brightly when the sun goes down.
You can also add some additional security measures like motion sensors for your exterior lights, which will turn them on automatically when anyone walks by, or you can look into installing a perimeter alarm or an in-home alarm system if you feel the need for extra protection.
Eliminate hiding places for potential intruders.
Often, people who break into homes are looking to hide and wait until no one is around before they start stealing your stuff. This means they need somewhere to go while they’re waiting, and that’s where you come in.
Common hiding places include bushes and trees (which can be trimmed back), shrubs, flower pots (that should be placed out of reach), fences (or any other structure between your house and the street), trees within sight of windows, patio furniture like chairs and tables (these should also be placed up against walls)
Lock up tools, ladders, and other tools that could be used to get access to your house.
Lock up tools, ladders, and other tools that could be used to get access to your house. You may be surprised to hear that the first thing you should do every day is lock up your tools.
Most burglars try to break into a house when no one’s home, so it’s important to make life more difficult for them by locking up your tools and other items that could be used to break in. This includes ladders, extension cords, anything that can be used to reach windows and doors, etc.
You should also remove any keys you have hidden on the outside of your house. If a burglar knows where they are, they can easily get in while you’re away.
Make sure all doors are locked.
Make sure all doors are locked when you leave the house. Keep your door closed if you are going away for an extended amount of time. This can allow someone easy access to your home and belongings.
Store valuables in a safe place or locked away from view.
You should keep your most valuable items locked away in a safe or hidden in a drawer. This includes expensive jewelry and watches, as well as cash and checks. The more visible your valuables are, the easier it is for a person to break into your home to steal them.
Conclusion
