There are three primary warning signs that we suggest you place on your property to help Deter criminals from targeting your home. The first is Dog On Premises. If you have a fenced back yard this sign will likely be placed on the fence door that leads to the back yard. It might be a good idea to think about where else in the back yard a criminal might decided to enter and place one there as well. Even if you don’t currently have a dog it is still a good idea to have at least one of these signs noticeable. In interviews of burglars, most say they are deterred if they know a dog is present. They don’t want to be heard or bit.
The second sign we recommend is the Alarm System In Use sign. Again, even if you don’t have a working alarm system “yet”, the bad guy doesn’t know that. This adds an extra layer of Deter protection.
The final sign we recommend in Deter is the Security Camera sign. Obviously it is going to be best if you have a visible and working security camera, but again, even the sign will act as a deterrent. The alarm and security camera signs will likely be placed near the front entry way of your home.
Together, these three signs form a formidable defense against potential intruders. The synergy between a dog’s intimidating presence, the warning of an active alarm system, and the watchful eyes of security cameras creates an environment that is less attractive to criminals. Additionally, the visual cues of these signs not only deter external threats but also contribute to a sense of safety and peace of mind for homeowners.
Investing in these signs is a cost-effective way to bolster your home’s security. By sending a clear message to would-be intruders that your property is well-protected, you reduce the likelihood of becoming a target and enhance the overall safety of your home and family.
