Anti-burglary Home Protection Tips to make it hard for burglars to hide

• Trimming down or removing shrubbery next to doors or windows.
• Use thorny plants next to the house like holly or roses.
• Utilize outside security lighting and make sure to pay attention to burn outs.
• Use motion detecting lights as lights coming on will make burglar uncomfortable and neighbors are more likely to notice the change in lights then constant lighting.  If you have a tall security fence in the backyard, we firmly recommend motion detection lights in the back of your house as well.
