How to Avoid Halloween Pranks

If you have ever been a victim of Halloween pranks in the past hopefully this post will offer some tips on how to avoid being pranked this year. Halloween pranks are as traditinal as trick or treating. The best offense is a strong defense, I'm not sure why I just said that, but it sure sounded good. First things first if you have a dog, place it in the front of your home. Do this before you go to bed, and after all the trick or treaters have stopped arriving. If the dog is a large dog it may scare away any potential threats. Be sure to secure the dog so that it doesn't harm anyone.

If it's a small dog hopefully it will bark,and alert you of anyone attempting a prank. Inform your neighbors to be on the look out for vandals as well. If you feel it's necessary leave a light on in the front of the house to give the appearance that someone is up. Another good idea would be to park your car in the garage or as close to the house as possible. If you follow this advice it could save time that you might have otherwise spent cleaning up tissue paper and eggshells or something worse.
