Halloween is right around the corner and soon little trick-or-treaters in a variety of costumes will be on their way in search of candy. Keep in mind these safety tips when prepping for the upcoming crowd of hungry children!
- Have a clear path - Make sure there are no objects in the way of your front door - look out for toys, trash, yard waste or even decorations. Tape down any cords you may have plugged in so they don't cause anyone to trip.
- Keep your yard lit - Turn on your porch light if you are welcoming trick-or-treaters. If you have Jack-o-Lanterns out, try to use LED candles to light them instead of live flames.
- If you have pets keep them inside the house or locked up. They may be frightened by all of the visitors and it's best to plan ahead for their peace of mind and the protection of others.
- If you're out of candy or not participating, turn all your lights out to let trick-or-treaters know. You can even put out a "No Candy" sign if you don't want there to be any confusion.
- Remember if you are handing out candy not to include homemade goods - some parents are wary of having their children eat homemade food from strangers especially with allergy concerns.
