Secure Your Home Before Those Summer Road Trips

Summer is upon us and that means school is out, the BBQs are firing up, and it’s time to start planning some summer road trips. However, before you pack your bags, hop into the car, and hit the road, it is important to make sure that your home is safe and secure. Not sure how to secure your home before heading out on those summer road trips? Keep reading to learn more!

1. Make sure all doors and windows are locked

You probably think this seems like a no-brainer and it is, but some people still forget to lock up before heading out of town. You might not realize that your husband opened the office window to get some fresh air in there or that your wife unlocked your kid’s room to air it out. That is why it is important to go through every room in the house and make sure that every door and window is locked.

2. Lock up valuables

While you are going through all of the rooms in your house to lock doors and windows, be on the lookout for valuables laying around. If your son’s Nintendo switch or daughter’s laptop is laying out, be sure to securely lock them up. The same goes for any jewelry, cash, or important documents that are not making the trip with you.

3. Install motion sensor lights

You should also consider installing motion sensor lights or outdoor lights on a timer that will brightly illuminate the entrances to your home. Burglars like to sneak in undetected and that’s hard to do with a spotlight on you!
