If your house is being swarmed by possums at night time, who leave a mess everywhere and eat all your fruit and vegetables, maybe it is time you think about getting some sensor lights to keep those pesky possums at bay.
Motion sensor lights are a type of light with motion sensor technology that triggers the bulb when it detects something moving within its recognition range. The two most common styles of this technology are passive and active infrared. While both have slight differences, they both achieve the same result of lighting up an area when they pick up on something.
Since possums are nocturnal and prefer to move around under the cover of darkness, these lights are a great way to deter them from your property. One way you can do this is to set up the lights on your roof. This way if a possum jumps onto the roof and triggers the light it will quickly flee.
Another great way to keep them from running amok in your garden is to point the light towards any fruits, vegetables, and flowers. This way, whenever a possum approaches the vegetation to grab something from it, the light will gently startle them and make them think otherwise.
Deterring possums is not the only reason why you should be thinking about getting one of these lights. These lights also have other uses and benefits that can make your house more liveable for you. Below we have featured a couple of reasons why installing these lights does much more than just prevent possums from causing havoc.
One of the best arguments why you should seriously think about getting some of these lights for your home is that they can increase safety. It is well known that one simple tip to make your home safer is to put in a few of these lights. If anyone is thinking about walking onto your property to do something illegal, one of the last scenarios they want to experience is having themselves lit up from somewhere above. In some cases, this may be enough to ensure the potential thief leaves your property empty-handed.
These lights can also add a nice ambience to your outside living areas. While there are probably other lighting ideas for entertainment that spring to mind first, these lights can be accessorised with different styles of bulbs and lighting patterns.
This light can also be very convenient to have as part of your house. Since they are turned on by a sensor you do not need to worry about turning on and off light switches. This is great if you are doing anything outside because you don’t need to worry about finding a light switch in the dark. It also makes it much easier when you are coming home and need to find the right key for your front door, as well as the lock.
