Protecting Your Seasonal Log Home Against Intruders

If you are a seasonal log home owner you may want to consider ways to protect your home when you are away. Here are some good tips to get you started. Pests; make sure you don't leave any food including dog food outside, or secure it in an airtight metal container. Security; If you have neighbours that are ususally there have them check on your home. Make sure that your security alarms are working and replace burned out light bulbs. You may even want to place a security sign on your front lawn, which helps discourage intruders. Lock up all your outbuildings, and always keep ladders and any tools out of arms way. These are some items burgulars may use to enter your home. Instead of placing spare keys under rocks or elsewhere outside have a good neighbour hold a spare key. Insurance; Always make sure you know exactly what your insurance covers, and let your agent know whether you have an alarm system or any other protection devices in or for your home, insurance companies usually discount homeowners for home protection devices.
