intruders

A loud air horn the, kind powered by compressed air in a can, may be used to draw attention, maybe scare someone away.
At night in the dark a strong photo flash in the face will blind an intruder for quite a while. Long enough to summon help, maybe with the air horn. There are some very powerful flash lights used by police I believe they are called Starlights which will temoprarily blind someone when shown at their eyes in the dark.
A loud dog, even a small one, can scare people away, or start the rumour you have a pet snake, scorpions, tarantula, etc. aboard many people are terrified of them.
Stay safe,
Steve
