Until then we'll be coming down on and off for a week at a time when we can use vacation time.
I've seen where people say to tape over drains to keep bugs out, and to put saran wrap over the toilets to keep the water from evaporating. just wondering if this is good advice?
Also, what temp should I keep the house at in the summer?
Any other tips or advice is much appreciated.
Thanks in advance

where did that come from? LOL nope that's ridiculous
keep your house ho higher than 80, but also a wifi thermostat would help. most FL homes can withstand a house at 80. I prefer 76. I'd shut off the water, however the only issue you will have is drain flys. which aren't all that difficult to get rid of (hot water, bleach & soap) make sure you have your exterior pest control done etc.
Also the obvious things - blinds closed, etc. it's really not all that difficult.
