I never let anyone check my home - not necessary and they can leave lights on - leave a toilet running - etc. Shut off water. Cover toilet bowl with plastic wrap. Cover or close drains. Set golf car and car up with Stabil and a Deltran tender plus to keep batteries charge. Close drapes. Turn refrigerator temp down a bit - fill with bottled water - be sure ice maker is off. I have a humidistat so I set that at the proper settings. A/C only runs to control humidity under 60%. Arrange lawn or weed care. Put Xfinity on seasonal charge $8 month. Unplug as many electrical lamps and appliances as possible. Lock door and go. When I come back it's like I just left every year for 13 years. Good luck. (I do pretty much the same thing up north when I'm gone but heat there is most important)

Why do you cover the toilet bowl with plastic wrap?
