Residents planning on leaving their homes for a time or to go on holiday can adopt some simple measures to help protect their homes and give the impression that it is occupied. These include the use of timer switches to activate lights at various times of the day and asking a good friend or neighbour to keep an eye on your property and collect post so that it doesn’t build up on the doormat. Furthermore, householders should ensure that any light sensors they may have around the outside of their property are working and alarms are activated.
