You want nothing more than to know that your home is a safe place for you and your family, especially from the toxicity of lead paint, but you just don’t have the savings to spend on fancy new security tools. Thankfully, Lead-Edu has the information and resources you need to protect you and your loved ones from harmful lead paint. In addition, setting up security systems can be less expensive than you might assume! Here are a few resources to help you focus on home security while staying in line with your budget.
Eliminate Pests and Vermin
Living with pests and vermin can pose a risk to your family’s physical and mental health. Here’s how to prevent or eliminate these issues in a budget-friendly way.
- These simple, cost-effective preventative tactics can help you keep bugs out of your home.
- Have you been dealing with mice in your home? Look up mice exterminators in your area and compare their rates for the best price.
- Make sure your home is free of mold and mildew by following these cleaning guidelines to avoid spending on a mold remediation service later.
Budget-Friendly Safety Tools
You don’t have to spend lots of money on safety features for your house! These tips can help you install the necessary tools while saving money.
- Dual-sensor smoke detectors are quite affordable, so you don’t have to overspend to protect your family.
- Free brochures and informational videos that explain the danger of lead paint are available at Lead-Edu, as are classes that teach how to mitigate the threat.
- Instead of hiring a contractor to install carbon monoxide detectors, you can set them up on your own.
- You don’t need a home security system with all of the bells and whistles. Determine which features you require and choose a reasonably priced system.
DIY Security Fixes
Do you need to hire contractors to secure your home? Not necessarily! You tackle these security improvements on your own.
- A motion-sensor light switch can alert you to security threats, and you can install them DIY style!
- Even your landscaping choices can deter would-be burglars.
- Instead of installing entirely new door locks, try rekeying them – it’s cheaper, and it will still keep your home safe.
Making smart choices about home security and a healthy home environment free from lead paint is crucial. But the idea that keeping your household safe will be expensive is misguided. Thankfully, there are plenty of ways that frugal households can stay safe!
