Smart Ideas To Upgrade Your Escondido Home Security

By Mark Mahaffey


One of the most valuable things for a home owner to do is to make their home secure from crime. Anyone who has ever had their home broken into can attest to the fact that burglars make us feel unprotected and vulnerable, not to mention the stress caused by loss of property.

You will be glad to know, however, that there are some easy things you can do to start increasing your Escondido home security. Would you like to stop living in fear of a home invasion? If so, consider implementing some of the tips in this article.

One Escondido home security tip is to take an honest look at the landscaping that is around your home. Do you have large bushes up close to your house? Are there trees near your upstairs windows? If so, you are in danger of someone breaking into your house.

Why? Because those bushes make your home very tempting to burglars. They can hide behind them while they are breaking in. It gives them a 'safe' place to do their dirty work. Likewise, tree limbs that are close to upstairs windows can make it possible for crooks to get into your home by climbing the tree and breaking the windows.

The solution is not difficult. Just reduce the size of your bushes. Ask a landscaping company to come out and trim them back, so there is less space for a criminal to hide. Also, cut back some of the tree limbs that are close to the upstairs windows.

The lighting around your home is also a very important part of having great Escondido home security. Just as criminals like to hide behind large plants, they also like to do their work in the darkness. So, if the exterior of your house is dark, crooks will be drawn to it. The solution is to install security lights and shine them on the front, back and sides of your home.
