Your home is your fortress. Time to treat it as such. We’re going to start this project with cheap security ideas that any of us can do, for a bit of extra protection. I’ll spare you the details and videos, but home invasion style robberies are common now. Not just in the United States. While looking for a good video to post here, I immediately came across two home invasion videos out of Australia and one from Belgium.
All good ideas. Here in the Philippines almost everyone leaves lights blazing but I am an awkward SOB and when we go to bed we are in pitch black. I can operate better that way and feel it gives me an edge. Had very wealthy friends who had good guard dogs, but they were poisoned and the gunmen got in, thankfully our friends were not home

Good tips, thanks. I live in the country and probably rely too much on guns, but all my neighbors have guns as well. During deer season you hear them going off all the time. We often leave our keys in the cars and rarely lock the doors of our house. I can't remember hearing of a break in for miles around in the three decades I've lived here. I've gotten soft, lol.
Thank you! We have an alarm but need to work on the deterrent angle. We're not all that far from a high crime area (we're in a border state so I'm sure you can imagine). At the rate people are coming over, even quiet areas aren't truly safe.

Fantastic. Thank you for the great info on deterrence, and links or images to recommended products.

Excellent post, Malignant. I saved it!
Great article. I love the bees idea.
