Vacation Safety Tips-Safety Tip Of The Week

click for more info

Many people are so happy to go on vacation that they forget some basic safety tips for their home before they go.

When your home is left empty it is the most vulnerable. And if you don’t think that burglars aren’t constantly looking for homes that are vulnerable you better think again.

So here are some tips that will help make sure that your belongings are where they’re supposed to be when you get back.

1. Make sure you stop your mail and newspapers so they don’t accumulate in your front yard or in your mailbox. A pile of papers in your front yard is a sure sign you’re gone.

2. Have someone mow your lawn and water your lawn and plants while you’re gone.

3. If you don’t have a timer for some of your indoor lights ask a neighbor to turn on lights every night for a few hours. The Programmable Timer will do it for you and randomly turn lights on and off.

4. And make sure you tell your neighbors that you will be gone and when you’ll be back. It doesn’t hurt to ask them to keep an eye on your house.

Get A Barking Guard Dog-Safety Tip Of The Week

click for more info

Well, okay I know not all of you will go out and get a guard dog or even a dog that barks. It just isn’t going to happen. But the fact of the matter is that the sound of a barking dog is one of the best deterrents against home burglary or home invasion for that matter. If you don’t believe me just call your local police station and ask them.

They will tell you, without qualification, that the sound of a barking dog is the best deterrent against home burglary.

Home burglary happens in one out of six homes every year. Home burglary happens every 15 seconds. Do you really want to take your chances? Or do you want to be proactive and do something to protect your home?

Now the dilemma! You want to do something but don’t like dogs. And you’re not getting get one! I can relate to that.

How about getting one of the most effective home security products on the market-THE ELECTRONIC WATCHDOG?

Sometimes it is called the Barking Dog Alarm. When it is plugged in it protects an area in a one hundred degree triangle up to as much as 20 feet away. The electronic radar wave sense control “sees” through wood, cement, brick and glass. If an intruder enters that area the sound of an angry barking dog starts. The volume and radar sensitivity are both adjustable. It can be used in commercial applications too.

There is a remote control that allows you to arm or disarm the system as well as set off a panic alarm.

So get a barking dog-better yet, get the bark without the dog.

Bears Are Coming And They Are Hungry-Safety Tip Of The Week

Click for more details

It is almost that time of year when bears are finished hibernating. In another couple weeks when that happens they will come out of their winter habitat and boy oh boy are they hungry! Two times a year they get exceptionally aggressive; early spring as they come out of their hibernation, and early fall when they start their hibernation.

At these two times of year bears are looking for food. And when bears are looking for food you best not get in their way. Bears can smell food from great distances. So homeowners should take precautions and make sure that their trash is covered and if a grill is used outside that equipment is well protected because bears will go to any lengths to get at food when they’re hungry. They have been known to break in screen doors to get into homes.

That is why it’s a good idea for you to keep some bear spray around your house. We carry two brands. They both do exactly the same thing but have slightly different capabilities

Guard Alaska can spray up to 15 to 20 feet away and Mace Brand bear spray can spray up to 35 feet away.

And next week’s safety tip we will cover the proper way to use bear spray. Like anything else there is a good technique to get maximum effectiveness. We will share that next week!

Home Security Tips: Get A Door/Window Alarm-Safety Tip Of The Week

click image for more details

We try to keep up with what’s going on in the news in our industry. We subscribe to Google alerts as one way of doing that. And every week as sure as I am sitting here, we get notifications of burglars who were scared away from a home by the sound of a loud alarm. To me that is proof positive that home alarms work.

For as little as $8.00 you can get a 110 db Door/Window Alarm that sounds when a door or window is opened. And believe me a 110 dB is plenty loud. It is loud enough to scare any burglar away and it is loud enough to be heard by neighbors up to a quarter of a mile away.

Police statistics show that the average value of goods taken in a home burglary is close to $1600 and another $1700 in damage done to the home. Why would you not think of protecting your home with the door/window alarm for eight bucks?

Remember that old song sign, sign, everywhere a sign?

Signs are huge part of advertising. They are very effective tool getting a message across. Nearly $300 billion a year is spent on advertising in the United States alone.

Home security signs are great way to send a message to potential burglars. When these bad guys go around the neighborhood looking for easy targets one of the things they look for are signs, any kind of sign that warns of a vicious guard dog, for example, or a sign that warns of a security system in place or a closed-circuit TV. If they see any one of these signs they are likely to move onto another location which is exactly what you want.

This Outdoor Home Security Sign is a great example. It is easily seen from street level where the bad guys do their scouting for targets.

You can check out all of our Home Security Signs. One of them will help improve your home security.

The strobe wireless Home Security System has one motion detector alarm and two glass break sensors that can be used with the two magnetic contact sensors. The motion detector can detect motion up to 30 feet away. The glass break sensors detect vibration caused by an intruder attempting to break in. If the Motion Detector, the Glass Break Sensor(s), or the Magnetic Contact detects an intruder it will send a signal (RF) to the External Siren, which will respond with an ear piercing Siren and Strobe Light. It is one of the most effective do-it-yourself home security alarm systems you can get.

Two IR remote controls are included one of which is a panic alarm.
