Keep all your Halloween visitors safe with these home safety tips.

With all the excitement that Halloween brings, it can be easy for safety to slip your mind. However, a single accident could completely ruin your Halloween. Make sure trick-or-treaters, party-goers, and other visitors stay safe this year with these simple Halloween home safety tips. Walking hazards: Before Halloween night, take the time to clear any potential walking hazards from your front yard and walkway. Things to look out for include small decorative lawn ornaments, planters, and any protruding rocks. Additionally, if your lawn is covered with leaves, you should rake them up. Leaves and these other hazards can lead to some nasty falls. Lighting: Another way to keep Halloween visitors safe is to make sure you have adequate lighting in your front yard. Keep the light by your front door switched on, and, if you don't have a front door light, now might be a good time to invest in one. Additionally, if you feel that your walkway isn't adequately illuminated, then light the way with an old string of Christmas lights. This is a fun and festive way to make sure your guests make it to your front door without any mishaps. Decorating: If you are planning to decorate your home with jack-o-lanterns, make sure you light them up using non-flame lighting sources. Avoid using candles as they increase your chances of setting your home, or something else, on fire. Additionally, if you want to decorate your home with props, make sure they are made of light plastic or rubber. You want to make sure your guests don't injure themselves in the event that your decorations fall down on them. Keep these home safety tips in mind to ensure that all your guests have a happy and safe Halloween this year.
