It is easy to start hating them, but remember you are still liable for the safety of intruders, particularly if you leave some kind of device while you're not there. For instance, automatic guns or traps are totally illegal. I don't know about electrified fences. If they are lethal, then you would no doubt be liable for any death or injury. Basically I think it's a very good idea to steer clear of any measure beyond setting off an alarm and taking pictures/video. That's enough to deter most intruders. If you are personally on-site and feel threatened, then of course that's a different matter.
