Bubble rock. Attract wild birds to your yard by providing them with a source of fresh water for drinking and bathing on a DIY bubble rock. This small, homemade fountain is more appealing to birds than a traditional birdbath because the sound of moving water makes it easier for wild birds to locate. Bonus: Mosquitoes tend not to lay eggs in moving water, making this a better choice than a still birdbath if mosquitoes are prevalent in your area.
Impact-resistant glass. If you live in a hurricane-prone climate and your home has impact-resistant windows, you already have the benefit of security film built into the windows. Impact-resistant glass is made by laminating a security film between layers of glass. It is meant to withstand objects hitting it at high speed, so it is also an excellent deterrent to entry through a locked window. If you are considering replacing your home’s windows, you may want to look into impact-resistant windows, although they are significantly more expensive than standard windows. Other stronger alternatives to standard glass windows include Plexiglas and polycarbonate windows.
