There will be entry points into your space.

You need to identify the flooring at each location.

Find likewise materials similar in color that can hold a nail or sharp screw.

So for instance if the entry way has dark oak flooring, find a similar colour, but thin.... think laminate flooring.

Pre drill 1/4 holes on a grid. I like the inverted W grid.

If using nails... they first need to be sharpened. This is easy on a bench mounted rotary grinding wheel.

Make sure there is a good sized head on it.

Put the sharps through the holes.

Now lay the flooring down on the floor at the entry points... inside enough that as they come in, they step on sharpened spikes that go into thier feet.

This will slow them down somewhat.

Sleep upstairs? sweet.

Anyone coming up my stairs uninvited will end up with a 21 LBS can of paint (Behr Premium white base) fired down upon their heads with all the force my 240 lbs frame can deliver.
