Exterior

The exterior of your home is a good place to start. One overgrown bush by the window or door could mean the difference between a break-in as it is the ideal place for burglars to hide. Survey the outside of your property for overgrown trees and shrubs. Put all tools like ladders away. Make sure all tool sheds are locked. This will avoid burglars being able to pull tools to break doors or windows or to climb to the next level of the home. Check to ensure there are no broken windows that would be easy access.

Sensor lighting in the front and back doors of the home should also be installed, as well as any dark areas. Any motion within a specific radius of the light be detected and turn on the light. This deters intruders.
