  4. Alleyways should be well lit.<\/li>\n
  5. Do not forget to trim hedges and illuminate shadowed areas caused by trees and shrubbery<\/li>\n
  6. Provide extra lighting for waste disposal areas, particularly if they are connected to an alley<\/li>\n
  7. Light all gates and fences surrounding your property<\/li>\n
  8. Use a home light control system for during home absences<\/li>\n
