Flood Protection

by Lyndsi

Floods can cause as much damage as burglars. If you live in an area that has frequent floods from heavy rainfall or melting snow, you may want to install flood sensors. Flood sensors alert you when water levels begin to rise. Even if you live in an area with little rainfall, you might want to consider the benefits of installing flood sensors. Flood sensing products can be put in bathrooms, near water heaters, by washing machines, and under dishwashers. If…

Security Cameras

by Lyndsi

Have you ever been caught on camera doing something really embarrassing? If you have, you’ve probably learned to avoid cameras. Burglars have the same instinct – steer clear of cameras. Installing security cameras around and in your home can be a great asset to your home security. If you don’t have the budget to install real cameras, consider putting up fake cameras. The only thing needed to run a fake camera is a couple AA batteries. A red light will…

Maintaining Yards

Maintaining your yard is probably seen as a chore. You trim your trees and mow your lawn to keep your neighbors happy and your yard looking nice. Would it boost your motivation to take care of your yard if you knew doing so would deter burglars? When your bushes and trees are trimmed, burglars don’t have anything to hide behind. Thieves will be out in the open, something they don’t want to risk. Also plant trees away from windows and…

Windows, especially on the bottom floor, can be easy to break through. In order to keep your house secure, you may want to install…

Keeping Teens and Children Safe

by Lyndsi

When you have to go grocery shopping, your kid might refuse to go. Anytime you leave your teenager or kid home alone, be sure they know how to set the security system, call for help, and know the basic rules of not answering the door for strangers. While you’re gone running errands or working, always be reachable for your teenager or child. Make sure they know your work number, cell number, or the number of a neighbor incase you’re not…

Be Burglar Proof

by Lyndsi

Burglars spend an average of eight minutes in a home. Always lock your doors and set your security system, even if you’re running a quick errand or going for a walk. Most thefts happen during the day while everyone is at work. In 2006, 63% of residential burglaries occurred during the day. Don’t advertise that you aren’t at home by leaving a note on the door for your housekeeper. Also never leave a repairman alone in your home. He will…
