Exteriors
Overgrown trees, shrubs and vegetation pose a hazard to the security of a home or business. The reason is, they are a great place for burglars to hide.Assess the property for all overgrown trees and shrubs by windows and doors that make a hidden haven for a burglar to hide while entering the premises.Windows and doors should be visible from the roadside.
Put away all tools and any equipment that burglars could use to assess entry or use to break in like a ladder or hammer.
In the front and back of the home or business, install locked gate.The fencing should be no less than a 2 metre minimum.Trellis are also a good deterrent for burglars as they are tough for burglars to climb.
Around the outside of the establishment, install motion lights and lighting in dark areas of the home.Motion lights are the ideal energy savers and deterrent for burglars as they turn on when motion is detected.
