It is also important to ensure that your home is safe and accessible to trick-or-treaters. As adults there are some very simple things we can do to make the evening safe for everyone:

• Turn on your porch light.
• Move candle-lit jack-o-lanterns off the porch where kids get bunched up if they are trick-or-treating in groups.
• Remove objects from your yard that might present a hazard.
• Drive slowly all evening – you never know what creature may suddenly cross your path.
• Report any suspicious or criminal activity to the police.

For your own safety, don’t let trick or treaters into your home unless you know them.

Enjoy the holiday!
