SECURE YOUR HOME

The year has just reached its peak, the epilogue is here, Christmas season is the best time of the year. A time for family, friends, and lots of merriment. Christmas season is a merry and busy time. Unfortunately, burglars and thieves try to cash in on the spoils of the season by burglarizing homes.

By taking these essential helpful steps, you can effectively reduce the chances of becoming a victim to a burglary.

Sadly, statistics also indicate that burglaries around this time of the year spike exponentially.

According to a research, most burglaries take place during the holiday season.

Well-Lit Home | External Lights

Those pretty lights which adorn the exterior of your home need to be plugged in, right? Precise! Just make sure that you don’t run their wires through a window or door leading inside. That little wedge that the wire will leave is all a burglar needs to pry their way in.

Things to recall, thieves and burglars love operating under the guise of darkness. When visibility is low, they can do whatever they please knowing that no one will be able to see what they are up to.

If your house is well-lit, the chances of any ‘funny business’ taking place on your property are reduced. Make sure you have floodlights or motion activated lighting around the exterior of your home.

Lighting Timer | Day Light Switches

Another quirk that burglars are known for is getting down the perfect time to break into a home. They do this by waiting for signs of inactivity or absence of occupants. One tell-tale sign that broadcasts that no one is home is when the lights are off. That’s why you should put your lights on the interior and exterior of your home on a timer and even day light switchers that turn on your lights once it gets dark. With these lights on, a burglar won’t feel so sure about the fact that your house is empty.

Harness Motion Sensors

Motion sensors trip when they detect movement around a certain perimeter. They can activate lights, or an alarm. Setting up motion sensors on your property is a good way to effectively deter anyone from breaking into your home.

A Safe Home Is a Happy Home

Last but not least, make sure your home is secure during this holiday season. Check your windows and doors to make sure all locks are intact. If you don’t have one already, invest in a home security system which will protect your home and your family.
