It's unsettling to hear about break-ins from neighbors and friends. You don't want your home to be the next target so these security measures are an investment in your safety and peace of mind.

1. Razor Wire

Just the thought of getting snagged could be enough to deter most. It works especially well around your primary gates and entrances.

*Be sure to check your state and local laws.

2. Signage

Going onto a well marked property versus going onto an empty dirt road are two very different things for the would be criminal/vandal.

3. Barricade Bars

Give structure entrances a little extra protection with a steel barricade bar. Nobody will be kicking in your doors.

4. Driveway Alarms

Know when you have “company” before they get to your front door.

5. Motion Sensor Lights

Motion sensor lights let bad guys know that this property is occupied.

6. Dogs

They offer several benefits such as, the ability to physically match and intimidate intruders, senses that aren’t vulnerable like electronics, intuition and they are on guard day or night.

Try the electronic equivalent, the watchdog alarm system.

7. Automatic Timers

Like we’ve said previously, most rural property crimes are based out of opportunity. Don’t let them think no one is home, even for short trips away from the house.

8. Security Cameras

Todays’ security cameras are much more affordable than they used to be, and more sophisticated to boot.

If real cameras won’t work for your situation, dummy cameras can help serve as a deterrent.

Have you tried any of these security measures on your property? Are there any other options we should add to the list?
