Halloween Safety Tips For Homeowners Handing Out Candy

Trick-or-treaters will be out in full force and it’s best to plan ahead to keep everyone safe when they visit your home.

·         Clear yard of anything that can trip the young ghouls and goblins 

·         Put pets away to protect them from cars or inadvertently biting a trick-or-treater

·         Use battery-powered, jack-o’-lantern candles

·         Turn outside lights on

·         If you do use candles, place them well away from trick-or-treaters and yard decorations

·         If you don’t want to hand out candy, healthy food alternatives for trick-or-treaters include: packages of cheese or peanut  butter crackers, single-serve boxes of cereal, packaged fruit rolls, raisins and packets of microwavable low-fat popcorn

Wishing everyone a fun and safe Halloween!
