we installed motion sensitive flood lights around the entire perimeter of the building in the summer, the building is lit 24/7 360 degrees. when someone comes within 5 feet they get bright. the bait idea is what im thinking, there is really only one side they are coming in from and thats the wooded area, is the furthest from the street and people. i going to rig a simple alarm trip wire, ill string it tree to tree, with a couple secondary trips in front of it. wire gets tripped, alarm goes off in the house, i get to say hello with a 12 gauge and a 150 pound Akita.:thumbup
