How To Keep Your Home Safe When on A Summer Vacation

When planning a trip to the beach, you will surely be concerned about what you should bring, where you will go, how much you will have to spend and many more. Well, we recommend that you also include home security in the list. Since you will be out for quite a while, your home will be a big target for thieves and robbers. To help you out, here are some ways on how you can keep your home safe while you are on summer vacation:

·         Take care of your lawn.

One of the telltale signs that no one is at home is the tall grasses and the unmowed lawn in your garden. If you will be out for more than a week, we recommend that you hire a landscaper to take care of your lawn.

·         Ask neighbors to look after your home.

If you are friends with your neighbors, then you can kindly ask them to look after your home while you are away. Notify your close friends that you will be away for quite a while so they can be able to look after your home.

·         Do not post in social media.

You will surely be tempted to post photos of your destination, videos of what you are doing and the places that you are in. There is nothing wrong with that but posting such things in real time will just let everybody know that there are no one in your home. If you want to keep your home safe, avoid social media during your trip. You can post photos of your trip afterwards.

·         Keep your spare key hidden.

Once intruders discover that you are out of town, the first thing that they will do will surely be to look for the spare hidden key that many home owners keep. The most common hiding places for this key would be under the mat, under the rock, above the door and many more. When you place your spare key in such obvious places, it will be easy for the intruder to find the key.  We recommend that you avoid hiding your key in those areas. It is recommended that you place it in conspicuous areas or better yet, we recommend that you avoid leaving any spare keys behind.

If you will be going on a family summer trip, your main concern would be the safety of your home and your property. For sure, you would not want to worry the whole time you are on your trip, right? Well, you do not have to! The tips given above will help you keep your home well protected while you are enjoying at the beach.
