Security in a home is essential. Many homes do not have
proper security and therefore have had or are at risk of having burglaries. While
some recent analysis shows that the number of burglaries has decreased, it is
still important to secure your home properly as your home may still be at risk.
Alarms are basic equipment in home security. Many alarm
companies will install their alarms free of charge or for a small fee, though they will charge an ongoing fee for monitoring. Although
alarms may be generally reliable, some burglars may find a way around them. In recent
years, new technology has been invented to get around even the most high tech
alarms. So, you may think that having an alarm is enough but in reality, it is
not.
Some people think that trees and shrubbery will also deter
burglars when really all they offer is a hiding space to aid them in their
escape. However, thorn bushes have been shown to discourage burglars as they do
not want to get scratched.
One of the most reliable ways to secure your home is with
fencing. Fencing can be installed quickly and it can be very affordable. They
give you a sense of security in your house, while at the same time actually
preventing burglars from entering your home.
A common type of fencing is Chainlink fencing. It is very
practical and also easily installed. It is sturdy enough to withstand burglars
trying to break it down and can also be improved even further with the addition
of razor barbed wire along the top, or, anti climb paint put on the top half of
the fence (this will also prevent small children from getting covered in the
stuff).
The more secure your house looks, the less chance there is
of a burglar trying to break in. If a burglar sees that you have fencing and an
alarm system along with some thorn bushes, they will almost always go for a
property that looks easier to enter. Motion detector flood lights along with a
secure gate at the front will have an immediate impact on the mindset of the
burglar, discouraging them from entering the property.
