Easy Ways To Protect Your Home While Vacationing

Guest blog post from Taylor Ewone

There are many ways that you can protect your home while you are traveling during the summer months. The number one option, of course, is a California door alarm. They can be relatively inexpensive and provide great protection while you are away. You should always remember to set your home security alarm before leaving your home. Here are a few other options that are cost effective in protecting your home. Motion Sensitive Lighting - Most people will be deterred from breaking into your home if they are suddenly put on the spot. A light coming out of the darkness will also alert the neighbors of potential home invasion. Garage Access - Keep access to your garage area locked while you are away. If burglars are watching from the street and the garage is open, it just provides an easy access point for a break inn. Newspaper Delivery - If someone see's a large pile of newspapers it's an obvious clue that you are not home. Either stop the delivery temporarily or have a neighbor pick them up for you. Timer Lights - Burglars watching your home can see a pattern if you keep your outside lights on a timer. Make sure that you disable the timer if you are going to be away.
