Late summer vacations are amazing. This is when you get to spend time outside with friends and family. But never forget this is also the period when burglars start to come out of the winter slumber looking for that unfortunate homeowner they can have their home burglarized.
To ensure your home and property remain safe while you are away, below are some simple yet powerful security tips.
This sounds simple enough but becomes a tall order when you forgot to double-check that every window and door is locked and secured.
As soon as you start planning your trip, prepare a checklist, and make sure that keeping your primary and auxiliary entryways secured tops the list. This way, it won’t slip through your mind to latch your doors and windows since you have a list to go through.
To double down on your security effort, make sure you turn on your home security alarm in addition to keeping the doors and windows closed. Also, place a sign in your front yard and stick up your windows decal to notify potential intruders that you have an alarm system at work. This alone can serve as a major deterrent to burglars.
You can leave a few lights on throughout your home to make it seem like someone is around when in actuality no one is. You can even program your lights to come up in the evening and turn off in the morning. You can achieve this if you have smart bulbs or smart lights arrangement in your home.
Also, turn off your mail service if possible. Having mail pouring from the mailbox is a good way to tell burglars you aren’t home. If it’s not practical to stop your mail service, then here is where the next tip will prove useful.
If you are expecting an important mail or package, it’s a great option to let a trusted neighbor pick them up for you instead of letting your front door or lawn get piled up with letters and boxes. Also, you may ask your neighbor to park their car in your driveway when you’re not around. Or you can let someone you trust, such as a family member, stay at your place until you’re back.
No doubt summer is a great time to visit relatives, check out great places, and engage in other activities you love. But never toy with the security of your home. Making sure your residence is well guarded, however, might require the installation of necessary security facilities or repairing them.
For example, you may need to install a reliable and professional security system within your home or have smart lights put together. In some cases, it could just be important to replace or upgrade your door locks to secure your home’s entry points.
