We usually come to the garden on weekends and holidays, and during the whole winter period, as a rule, we live in the city. Therefore, effective protection of the house and summer cottage area is very important. There are several proven ways to prevent intruders from intruding.
Paint trap
It is necessary to pick up paint that is not washed off. The chemical trap looks like a wad of money. It is attached to the place of the "cache" and will immediately "mark" the thief as soon as he touches it.
True, she, unfortunately, will not be able to catch the villain. But the police can easily find him by marks.
Presence in the house
Special devices will help to represent the presence of the owners. They will from time to time turn on the lights in your home, start a dog barking or simulate the flickering of a TV.
You can install spotlights or decorative lights around the perimeter of the house and program them to turn on cyclically at night, regardless of whether you are at home or not. Not every burglar dares to attack a living space, not being sure that there is no one inside.
A rug with a pungent smell
Place a rug soaked in a strong scent by your front door. When trying to enter the premises, the offender will definitely step on him.
If he does manage to escape, the smell will remain on the soles of his shoes. When you decide to call the police, having found signs of an intrusion into your house and the loss of property, a sniffer dog can easily take the trail and find the criminal.
Installing gratings on windows
The grilles on the windows are not the most beautiful part of the facade, but they are reliable protection. True, provided that your door is strong enough and cannot be opened.
If the entrance to the house opens without difficulty, then no one will try to get in through the window. In addition, you need to think about fire safety. The grates should be hinged so that in the event of a fire, you can easily get out of the house. Metal shutters are a good alternative to grilles, but they are more suitable for wealthy mansions than summer houses.
Security alarm
It will be correct to install a security alarm in your home. This is the simplest and proven way to protect and secure your home.
This decision is made by the majority of property owners leaving for a long time. The customer contacts the security company, concludes an agreement with it and agrees on payment.
On average, this service costs about three thousand rubles a month. The equipment will work as soon as a burglar enters the building. An armed group arrives in about 7 minutes. The system is also able to respond to accidental fire, gas leakage, as well as flooding of the home.
Cooperative fence
Enclose the territory of the horticultural cooperative with a common fence and put up a strong gate that would be locked with a lock. It is much more difficult and dangerous for a criminal to get into a single zone. Some of the neighbors will definitely be at home and notice illegal entry into the common land.
Security guard
You can negotiate with neighbors, raise funds and hire a security guard. This is a sure way to secure your property. The watchman will periodically walk around the entire territory of the summer cottage village and make sure that there are no strangers and suspicious persons on it. In case they appear, and the guard finds them, he can quickly call the police.
Fence for the site
Be sure to provide a sturdy fence directly around your garden area. It will be great if a solid gate is equipped with a reliable lock. You can place barbed wire on the fence. Any simple obstacles will create additional difficulties for the thief. And this can make him give up the thought of entering your territory.
