Burglar-Repellent Home

By Morgan Saylor

Yesterday we wrote about securing your smart home devices – however, securing your physical home is just as important. As a first-time home owner, you may find yourself in the category of “I don’t know the first thing about home security”. And you actually don’t have to be an expert to deter ne’er-do-wells from accessing your home.

Visual.ly has created an infographic that easily breaks down what potential burglars may pinpoint that you haven’t considered.

Some of these things include frosting your garage door windows, and maintaining shrubbery surrounding your home for a multitude of reasons. It also gives tips on things to do (or not do) while you are away.
