Make Burglars Avoid Your House

When it comes breaking and entering, people will try to use some deduction as to what house to go into and which ones to avoid. For example, the house at the end of a dusty road that is in the middle of nowhere will be a much better target than one on a busy street in the middle of town. This is not to say that we should all relocate but there are certain things that you can do to deter these burglars. First of all, it might be a good idea to keep the shades down at night and when you leave the house. At night and when you go out of town, make sure to keep some lights on to make it look like someone is home. You could even use the Nest devices that connect to a mobile application so that you have full control of the switches in your house. As far the outside lights go, have floodlights with motion sensors. It can be a great deterrent. Also, if you are away, have the post office hold your mail or have a friend pick it up for you.
