The odds are pretty good that someone in your immediate circle of friends and family members has had to deal with a burglary at some point. Home invasion cases are going up, and people need to be more thorough with home security. No one is immune to robbery; every home is a potential target. This article goes into detail about how you can prevent invasions.
Protect your spare key by using your dog. But, this is only effective if your home has a pet door or your dog stays outdoors when you are not home. Simply affix a spare key to the collar of the animal. You’ll always have a backup plan if you lose your key!
There are more features to a home alarm system besides making sounds when people break in. Many systems sound an alert whenever people enter the house. This is a good way to know if your small child has opened a door or closed it.
Get a safe to protect your valuable items. If an intruder breaks into your home, at least these valuables will be secure. This safe should be hidden in a location where burglars won’t find it, such as a hole in the wall, the attic, or a basement closet.
Don’t allow anyone you don’t know to look into your house. While their story may seem legit, that doesn’t mean it is true. There are people that just want to go into your home to see if you’ve got a type of home security system, and if they see that you don’t, they’ll return when you’re not home.
Clear away all the dead and dried out vegetation around your home in the summer. These can pose a fire hazard due to heat and storms with lightning. Regularly clear away your yard to keep your home in good standing and safe for your family.
Contact the local police department to find out more about the protection programs they offer. They may offer neighborhood watch programs, home inspections, engraving tools for marking code numbers onto items so that they will be easily identified if stolen. These programs can make a big difference to the security of your home, and they may just be a phone call away.
Avoid coming across as overly shy. Meet your neighbors. Keep your eye on their houses, and ask for help to keep yours safe too. Don’t ignore the gossip. You may learn some great information about security, such as if any strangers have been hanging around.
Do you live outside the city? You might be less worried about home invasions than if you lived in an urban area. Some people think that country folk are mainly targeted since they don’t have nearby neighbors. Still, many believe that rural environments are less frequently targeted by burglars.
You have a choice on who installs your security system, don’t be afraid to say no if something doesn’t feel right. If the installers give you the heebie-jeebies, it’s not a good sign. Don’t hesitate to request a different technician or to hire a new company altogether. The purpose of using the company is to calm your uneasiness, not worsen it.
Were you aware that your home’s wires are valuable? People don’t realize this until it is stolen. A skilled intruder could remove all the copper from your home within less than an hour. Be sure to keep your wiring hidden or difficult to reach.
Don’t just consider alarming your doors when you’re considering an alarm system. Intruders can enter through your windows too. The alarm and monitoring system should be set for all windows and doors. This is vital to keeping your family safe.
Be sure to replace rotten wood in the frame of your front door. Home invaders interested are able to pry off any rotted wood to get inside. Replace dead wood with thick, firm pieces to maintain a high level of security.
Make sure to ask for identification for any home security company representative. Thieves may say they are from a certain company to get into your home. This puts your household and valuables at considerable risk. You want to use caution to prevent danger.
If you come to your home and discover that your door has been left open, avoid investigating by yourself. The thief might still be inside, and you don’t have any idea whether or not they are armed. Go to a neighbor’s or another safe area and call the police.
Don’t let any service people into your home without checking their references completely. Do not hesitate to hire someone to run a background check if you have doubts. You can’t always be sure that maids, service workers or contractors are honest, and therefore giving out keys can be a big error.
Don’t make the mistake of believing that break-ins only occur in pricey areas. They rob any home they know they can get into, Protect your family and your home against burglars by following the tips presented here.
Invest in a good paper shredder. Thieves can use this information to figure out your schedule and determine the best time to break in. You can also simply tear papers with personal information into small bits before you discard them.
