Small Actions Have a Big Effect Combined
There are tons of little things you can do to prevent home break-ins and invasions. Each one helps, and if you do all of the above, the chances of someone targeting your home are very slim. We’ll go over a few of the things you can do, but feel free to do more independent research! There’s tons of information out there than can help you!
Home Invasion Prevention Tips
- Install an alarm system. Alarm systems don’t just help you know if there’s been a breach; an alarm system can deter potential criminals from attempting your home. Add a sign to your yard (usually provided by the alarm system company) which serves as a warning to potential intruders.
- Add sharp plants or shrubs underneath your windows. Adding large, thorny, or sharp plants to the perimeter of your home will discourage break-ins through the windows. Nobody wants to climb through and over thorns.
- Get a dog! Not only are dogs great friends, they are fierce protectors. Criminals usually do not want to get in a physical brawl with a canine since they are so deadly. A dogs bark is usually enough to convince an invader to leave.
- Add structural support to your doors and windows. Contact a professional door and window installer to evaluate options. Reinforced framing on doors, for example, makes them difficult to break down.
- Add a wide-angle peep hole and perimeter cameras. If you can see who is at your front door and around your house, you’ll have a better opportunity to react if it’s someone dangerous. Similar to an alarm system, visible cameras and a sign will also help to discourage theft.
- Add a panic room or safe room. Storing valuables in a safe room can also deter crime, especially if an area is known to have safe rooms installed in most homes. It’s also a fallback option that could save you and your family’s lives. One of our special modular safe rooms is a fantastic option if you want a safe room in a special, convenient place, like the closet for your child’s bedroom.
