Although many people associate home invasions with urban or suburban homes, you may also fall victim to a burglar if you live in a rural environment. In fact, rural homes are often more vulnerable to such attacks because there is a reduced chance of any neighbors catching the criminals in the act. Often, rural homes lack adequate security measures, making them attractive targets for burglars and other criminals. One of the downsides of living in a rural area is that you are often further from police stations and other people who could help you in case of an emergency. The distance between neighbors and towns means that you will need to be completely responsible for your own security. Although there are many rewards for trading the grind of city life for a secluded and simplified lifestyle, it does require you to think about your family's security in new ways.
If you live in a rural home, be sure to take adequate security precautions so that you are able to stop any potential attack. Always lock your doors and windows when you leave, even if there is no one else around for miles. Lock up everything on your property, even large farm equipment and tools. Otherwise, you're not only leaving these items susceptible to theft, but you also run the risk of your own tools being used to break into your home. Consider investing in better locks to make it harder for someone to break in. Regular door and window alarms, although very loud, may not be enough to scare away burglars who know there is no one else around to hear them. Unlike urban environments, where a loud beeping alarm may be enough of a deterrent to stop criminals from entering, many criminals will realize that your home is not well protected when an audible alarm is the only security measure you have.
Motion-activated cameras and lights make a particularly good choice for protecting the exterior of rural homes. If the light or camera turns on, you can stay inside the home to watch the activity through the camera. Not only should you make sure that the exterior of your home is well lit, with secure doors and windows, but you should also arm yourself with devices that enable you to fight back against would-be burglars. A one-pound canister of pepper spray by the door, for example, enables you to incapacitate unwelcome visitors. Delayed law enforcement response in rural areas means that it may be necessary for you to protect your family while waiting for the police to arrive.
No matter the environment in which you live, now is the time to take your own security seriously. Too many home invasions happen because homeowners leave themselves vulnerable to the possibility. By installing just a few security devices around the home, including alarms and cameras, you can drastically reduce the chances that a burglar will target your home. If the unfortunate should happen, you will also be better prepared to deal with it after purchasing self defense devices to help you fight back against any assailant.
