October Newsletter: Halloween, Pet safety, Smart Lock + more

OCTOBER NEWSLETTER Halloween is a lot of fun for kids. But as adults, we know darkness, masks and candy can be a recipe for an accident. In fact, there are over 50,000 pedestrian accidents reported every Halloween! Here’s a checklist to keep your kids and other trick or treaters safe this year. HALLOWEEN SAFETY CHECKLIST - Pick up items from your front yard and porch so kids won’t trip. - Sweep wet leaves away from walkways and porch steps. - Make sure your pets are securely indoors Halloween night. - Make your kids more visible with glow sticks, reflective tape and flashlights. - Remind your kids to be mindful of cars and to walk on sidewalks. - If you’re not home that night, be sure to arm your SimpliSafe system. One last pro tip: After all the candy is gone and you’re ready for bed, be sure to arm your system in Home mode.
