Hello World! Welcome Friends! Lately, it seems the world has gone a little bit crazy with everything going on in the news. With so many crimes happening outside your home, you may be feeling a little uneasy about leaving your door open at night or letting that cute dog play outside. But don’t worry. There are plenty of ways to elevate your outdoor security and make sure he is safe from harm. Keep reading for some genius tips.
Use Waterproof Outdoor Lights
If you’re looking for a quick and easy way to amp up the security of your home, simply adding waterproof led strip lights is an effective solution. These can be attached around your front door, at any entrances or exits to homes, garages and patios, as well as other areas where people frequently enter and exit their property.
Waterproof outdoor lights are also a great way to light up an otherwise dark walkway or patio, allowing you extra visibility while strolling through these areas after dusk. The lighting will still be bright enough for circulation purposes but not so bright that it attracts attention from nosy neighbors at night.
Design Chicken Wire Garden Ghosts
An old wire coop makes an excellent chicken wire ghost. First, you decide to remove the doors and the hardware, leaving only the frame behind. Then cut your spirit into a more amorphous shape with sharp garden shears or tin snips. You can also attach pipe cleaners to it for legs if you’re looking for something specific.
Stretch your chicken wire over the top of a large plastic bowl. This creates an easy mold for any round object you want to make into a ghostly face, like apples or pumpkins. Then, cut out the shape with pruning shears when it’s done and stuff newspaper in behind to create that empty look. You can also use this method for a smaller ghost with just one eye and some teeth.
Strategically place outdoor accessories at the entrances and exits. For example, place a few potted plants around the perimeter of your yard. Place rocks in them and use deception technology to make noise when people walk by or touch them, giving you an instant outdoor alarm system.
This is also a great way to conceal motion sensors. You can also use wind chimes to make noise. Place them near the entrance of your property, but not close enough that someone could grab them and break into your house.
Use Booby Traps Like Tripwires in the Garden
The tripwire home alone booby trap is a great way to counter an intruder. You can use string or fishing line as your tripwire and attach it to something that will make noise, such as empty cans. This will alert you of any movement near the area where you have installed your booby traps. If you don’t want to use noise, you can make a tripwire out of string and attach it on either end to something sturdy like trees or your fence. Make sure that the line is taut enough so someone crossing over will be tipped off by its movement. Do not forget to be careful with what you share to avoid tipping people off.
Conclusion
The bottom line is that a security system is a necessity in today’s environment. However, the good news is that it doesn’t have to break the bank or invade your privacy. Plenty of affordable and effective options are available for homeowners who want to invest in their home security without sacrificing style or convenience.
