leaving your home to chance.

Squatter Watch helps homeowners take proactive steps to prevent unauthorized occupancy. We bring practical advice, deterrent strategies and security options together, so you can make a plan that fits your property.

A thoughtful approach

Protection starts
with the everyday.

A few considered changes can make a real difference. Start small, then add layers that work for your home.

Step one

Give your home
a lived-in rhythm.

Vary lighting, plan for deliveries and ask a trusted neighbor to check in. Everyday signs of life can help deter unwanted attention.

Keep the outside
looking cared for.

A maintained lawn, tidy entrance and collected packages help avoid the visible signs of an empty property.

Still have
questions?

A few things to know before you get started.

Where should I start with prevention?

Start with everyday signs of occupancy: arrange mail collection, maintain the exterior, and ask a trusted neighbor to check in. Then consider lighting, cameras and alarm options that suit your home.

Can I use these tips while I’m away?

Yes. Many of these ideas are intended for unoccupied homes, including timers, smart lighting and regular property checks. Choose a combination that fits your property and the length of your absence.

How do I learn about professional security?

Use the inquiry section below to prepare your questions about the ADT partnership, available systems and discount eligibility.

Do prevention measures guarantee protection?

No single measure guarantees protection. The goal is to reduce risk with multiple deterrents, consistent care and a plan for responding to anything unusual.
