the vandalized property owner.

Try these tips to make your property less attractive to taggers:
IMPROVE LIGHTING with a dusk-to-dawn or motion-
activated light on your garage or in the back yard.
Choose energy efficient products to keep costs low.
GROW VINES or use landscaping to
make flat, blank garages, retaining
walls, and fences less appealing to
taggers. Morning Glories are a
fast-growing climbing vine.
Graffiti encourages more graffiti, so please
cover or report the markings to 3-1-1 swiftly.
MURAL YOUR GARAGE or fence.
Murals are proven deterrents against
graffiti, and CNO has free paint. Get
the kids and adults on your block
together to help paint and celebrate.
STAGGER FENCE POSTS
instead of building a flat fence.
A flat, blank fence is a billboard
waiting to be tagged.
