Hot tips related to bell security solutions incorporatedIs your house going to be empty for a few days or weeks while you go vacationing? That is the time your apartment or home is most susceptible to burglars breaking in. Here are several specific things to do to defend your home. * The best way out is to get a home sitter. Having someone in is almost always safer than an empty apartment. Check if you can get a friend or someone you trust to stay at your house for the time you are traveling. * Halt your newspaper and mail delivery while you are away from home. Mail and newspapers lying around advertises that your house is empty. * If you have a garden or potted plants get someone to maintain them. Or ensure that the potted plants are kept where they are not visible. Plants dying from lack of care show that the home or apartment is unoccupied. * Use timers to operate lights and tv. Put lights in several rooms on timers. The way the lights are switched on and off should look natural. At dusk turn on the living room lights. Around your normal sleeptime the living room should have lights off and the lights in the bedroom should turn on. If you commonly switch on tv at 9 and you watch it till 11 pm set your timer to that schedule. The lights may be on but the absence of the tv glow can clue in someone that your house is empty. * Find out if a neighbor will agree to drop in to your house regularly. Doors being opened and closed and windows too signals that the home is occupied. * If you rent an apartment notify the landlord that you are traveling. The homeowner may want to check up on the home sometimes. * If you have an alarm system active see to it that the person who is house sitting is familiar with how it is to be run. * Ensure that the house sitter can reach you easily. The person keeping an eye on the house must be well aware of who should be informed should any issue crop up.
