How to Stop Halloween Trick or Treaters

Video Transcript

"Trick or treat, I'm Matt Cail on behalf of Expert Village I'm here today to show you how to prepare for treat or treaters. After your pets are dealt with and you're all personally prepared for Halloween, there's an issue of whether or not you have your own children. First of all your own children may be at trick or treating age meaning you or mom or an uncle or cousin or whoever could be splitting duty. Take the children out trick or treating while somebody remains back at the home to handle the trick or treaters. Or maybe close up the shop for an hour so that you can take your own children out. Turning off your lights and essentially doing the total opposite of everything we've just discussed to make sure that the trick or treaters are not coming by your house while you're out with your own children. That's of course if your own children are old enough to trick or treat, there is the issue of younger children who are not ready for trick or treating and may not be old enough to understand that these people are coming to the door are dressed in costumes. They may think they are really monsters and werewolf coming to your door which is important to make sure that they realize either this is not for real or that you may consider to put them to bed early so they're not expose to it. If somebody came to the door dressed like this, it's very likely it would really scare or frighten your child. They wouldn't be able to see that it is fake. And just having a quick conversation or probably making sure that the child is not seeing this any type of customs like this is for the best."
