Outdoor lighting is another easy, powerful deterrent. Motion-activated lights near entryways or driveways instantly expose movement, discouraging unwanted visitors. Strong deadbolt locks, a secure peephole, and trimmed bushes near doors and windows all make it harder for anyone to approach unnoticed.
And don’t underestimate the power of community. Neighbors who look out for one another and communicate regularly form one of the strongest lines of defense against unwanted activity.
