Eliminate Any Secret Hiding Spots You May Have Around Your Home
As much as your kids may love those large bushes and shrubs, they act as the perfect hiding spot for a criminal, just as they’re the perfect hiding spot for your kid. By trimming the bushes and trees, especially around your windows and doors, you’re eliminating any potential hiding spots. A great home security hack is replacing privacy fences or thick shrubbery with something you can see through. Burglars are less likely to try and break into a home where they’re seen from the street. A study by KGW8 said that “burglars suggest homeowners make their property visible with good lighting and trimmed bushes and trees.” No hiding spots, in combination with good lighting, is one way to deter a criminal (ADT).
