Abstract: A ladder securing device fits within a gutter protruding from the eaves of a house. The device is made of members generally at right angles to each other. The members are elongated and board-like. A generally vertically oriented member extends lengthwise along the gutter with one edge on the bottom. A horizontal member is supported at the level of the top of the lip of the front wall of the gutter. Preferably the horizontal member extends well beyond the lip with a recess formed in the edge back almost to the gutter. The recess is preferably rectangular and long enough to accommodate the width of a ladder. If the gutter is a conventional flat bottom vertical back structure, the vertical member and the horizontal member merge at their edges in a simple right angle shape with the vertical member resting against the back wall.
