How to protect your home!

Safety is one of the main criteria that any home should meet. Even if you live in an area generally protected from break-ins and other unpleasant events, it would still be good to take extra protection measures, especially since today there are many options to choose from. The good news is that burglaries are becoming less common every year.

You have to resort to unconventional methods if you want to fool the thieves! Leaving the light on in a room can be effective, but in the short term and in order not to spend money on electricity while you are away, you can use fluorescent lights and phosphorescent objects positioned next to the window.

Some useful tips for protection!

Install surveillance cameras

The installation of surveillance cameras is one of the first steps we recommend you take. Thieves often refrain from acting where surveillance cameras are installed, for fear of being easily detected, especially if the devices are connected to the Internet, and owners can follow in real time what is happening in their homes. There were, in fact, cases in which the owners caught the thieves in the act precisely because they saw, on their smartphone, tablet or laptop, what was happening in their yard.

Do not expose valuables

This advice is especially true for people who live in the yard. A beautifully landscaped house, in the courtyard of which you can see expensive cars, tools and equipment for the latest generation garden, will immediately attract the attention of thieves. That is why it is recommended that such valuables be kept in the garage, away from the eyes of the malicious.

Shattered, broken or perforated windows are an open invitation for thieves. If you have such a thing in the house, you should replace it quickly. Even if it's the bathroom window or the closet. Moreover, do not place valuables near the window, in plain sight, because you will tempt thieves to enter. Do not show thieves that you are away from home. For example, if the blinds are usually raised, when you are preparing for the holidays, it would be good to lower them to half and keep them that way to keep the appearance of an ordinary day, when you will have left home.

Take care of the landscape around the house

Think of thorny rose bushes under easily accessible windows. And trim the bushes so that the thieves cannot hide behind them. Gravel alleys and access alleys work well to signal an unwanted visitor.

Thick wooden doors are difficult to destroy and can prevent breakage. For doors with breakable windows, install a floor lock to prevent a thief from entering and unlocking the door.

No matter how many safety precautions you take, it can happen that thieves do not get scared and try to break into your home, causing damage even on the eve of the holidays. Therefore, an optional home insurance that protects both your property and the damage they do to break through will cover your damages.
