🎃Spooky (But Smart) Home Safety Tips for Halloween Night

Halloween is one of the most festive nights of the year — but it also comes with extra foot traffic, excited kids, and plenty of potential for minor mishaps. Whether you’re passing out candy or heading out for trick-or-treating, these safety tips will help you keep things spooky and secure.

1. Light the Way

A well-lit walkway not only shows off your home’s curb appeal but also keeps little ghouls and goblins safe. Use solar lights, porch lighting, or string lights to brighten paths and stairs.

2. Clear the Path

Remove obstacles like garden hoses, decorations, or uneven mats that could cause trips or falls. If it’s dark, double-check for wet leaves that can make surfaces slippery.

3. Secure Pets and Driveways

Halloween can be stressful for pets with all the noise and costumes. Keep them indoors and away from the front door. If you’re expecting trick-or-treaters, move cars off the street or driveway to make it easier for kids to walk safely.

4. Check Outdoor Décor

Inflatables and extension cords can be hazards if not secured. Tape down cords and avoid blocking walkways. Keep open flames — like candles inside pumpkins — away from foot traffic.

5. Keep It Friendly, Not Frightening

If your neighborhood has lots of young kids, go easy on jump scares and loud sounds. A friendly, festive vibe makes your home the one everyone loves to visit.

👻 Have fun, stay safe, and enjoy showing off your home’s Halloween spirit!
