Thorns are a good bet it is hard to get through the thicket without making lots of noise and if you let them get old and dried you can set them on fire in a worse case scenario they make good speed bumps for escape through secret underground routs old school is the best school
 
Wanted to jot down a few anti-marauder ideas, and also provide a place for others to do likewise.

1. Fences, fences, fences. Slows an attacker, and gives you a good time to pick them off with a long gun.

2. Vehicle posts. Anchor them in concrete, and can make it difficult for folks to try and drive onto your property (and/or through your fences)

3. Concrete emplacements (built from cinder blocks, rebar and concrete) to make firing positions (can use as planters prior to SHTF)

4. Bright flashing lights (to impede night vision, and even normal human vision of attacking force).

5. Scorched earth policy (poison select food and water supplies if you have to flee). Come back and clean up the bodies after.

6. Step traps (small pits with a board at the bottom with long nails)

7. Warning alarms (motion detectors).

8. Neighbors (mutual defense agreement and plans).

9. Hiding places (so they can't take EVERYTHING even if they win the engagement).

10. Escape method (in case you are overrun).

What other ideas are out there?



Not to get bloody. However, you can build a dumb hideout and lure a group of bad guys in and detonate the building or compound with at least 30+ bad guys. Or you can gas them unconscious for interrogate or possible hostage purposes.
 
A bit resource intensive though, eh? (gas, explosives, etc.).
