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

Very good advice. I do it when I leave. Shut all drains, cover other drains with something very flat & put something heavy on top. I spray house hold bug spray in the drain before I do it. Spray bug spray on your lanai/porch, under & around all doors. I get the roach killers that are black & plastic & have them all around the house. I change them every 6 months. We shut our water off in case a pipe leaks. I also have ant traps especially in the garage, around doors. Spray your garage especially around & under the garage door & the door leading to the garage. As you can tell I hate bugs. Ants & roaches can be a real problem if you don’t keep them under control.
