Don't Let Your Summer Attitude Affect Home Security
Summer is just around the corner. After a long winter and a cold, damp spring, there's nothing you'll want to do more than feel the warm breeze blow in through your open windows as you pump Bob Marley back out of them. While this behavior is both acceptable and encouraged, it's important not to let this laid back summer attitude transfer to your home security measures.
Every year there is a definite increase in the amount of home burglaries and this is mainly due to the carelessness of the homeowner. If you keep the following tips in mind, you'll be able to enjoy the summer without having to worry about your home's safety.
1. Don't give burglars an open invitation.
One of the most common ways for burglars to enter the home over the summer is through open windows and doors. For starters, make sure all windows and doors have locking screens on them. Open the glass part of the window only enough to let in a breeze, but not enough to fit an entire body in the event that the screen is cut. Also, remember to close and lock your windows and doors entirely at nighttime and when you leave the house. Also, remember to remove window fans and secure window air conditioning units to make sure they aren't easily removed.
2. Put away any tools that could facilitate a break in.
Summer is also the time for home improvements, like cleaning the gutters and working in the garden. Many of the same tools used for these projects could really aid a criminal in breaking into your home. Make sure that after you are done, you put away any ladders, shovels or other gardening tools that could be used to infiltrate your house. Also make sure that your shed or garage has a strong door and lock that can't be easily permeated.
3. Avoid providing hiding places
If you don't have one already, install outdoor motion-sensing lights so that burglars can't hide in the shadows. If you do have one, make sure that the bulb is still working and that it's properly aligned to turn on no matter where a potential burglar may stand. Also, keep tall shrubbery well maintained so they can't camouflage themselves behind it.
4. Install a home alarm system.
Even if you become lax on some of these other home security measures, a home alarm system will make up for your negligence. For example, if you forgot your gardening shovel in the backyard and a burglar uses it to break in a window, your home alarm system will sound and not only scare the intruder but also provide you with a team of professionals to help you in case things get ugly.
With these tips in mind, you'll be able to relax entirely this summer without worry whether your home's security is compromised. After all, nothing can ruin your good summer vibes quite like a home break in.
