Idiot answers so far except the one about using an apartment chain. If not that, do this- buy a small hook&eye bolt set. These come each with threaded base. Screw one into the frame of the screen door near the side that closes to the wall. Screw the other to the wall or door casing inside the house where they can meet to hook. This will prevent anyone sliding the screen door open without ripping the screen first or making a hell of a noise, thus discouraging them away. Enjoy;!
A sliding screen door is not able to be made safe since it can simply be lifted out of the track very easily and quietly.
I agree with the above door alarm idea but to be safe you'll have to keep it closed.
IN the above I meant to keep the door closed, not the screen.
