Home security
Implementing good home security measures don't need to be really expensive.
How to secure your home
As most buglaries are opportunist, first and foremost check all windows are firmly closed when you leave the house. Also fix any broken, rotten or damaged windows.
If you have expensive possessions in clear view through the window from the street consider closing the curtains during the day when you are out or get some blinds or shutters for a more asthetic appearance.
Remove any rubbish or garden furniture that could help an intruder gain height and access your property.
Plant spikey plants such as roses or cacti infront of any windows to deter intruders.
And of course, the ultimate home security system is a burglar alarm which a professional home security company will be able to fit easily.
