How to Use Security Alarm Stickers to Frighten Burglars

Whether you are using a home security system or not, security alarm stickers can help to scare off burglars. Here's how to make them work for you.

Things You'll Need

• security alarm stickers

Instructions

1. Visit the signs or security section of your home hardware store. Purchase security alarm stickers for your home.

2. Find effective locations for the stickers throughout your home. The signs must be visible from the street; they will not prevent a burglary if the burglar can't see them.

3. Temporarily affix the stickers with tape. Step outside and make sure you can see the sticker plainly.

4. Clean your windows and doors before applying the stickers. Use rubbing alcohol or other surface cleaner. The stickers will adhere better to a clean surface.

5. Periodically check your stickers. Have they fallen from place? Is anything blocking them?

Tips & Warnings

• If you purchase a home security system, make sure that you have security alarm stickers in your packaging. If not, contact the seller or the manufacturer.

• Pair security alarm stickers with imitation alarm boxes and lights. These also can be purchased at the home hardware store.

• Make sure that any store-bought stickers are authentic looking. Fake-looking stickers will not be as effective as real-looking ones. In fact, they may invite break-ins.
