I have to agree and add....that this is also why you should always try to have a pre-closing inspection to insure the house is in the same (all workable) condition. The seller has an obligation to keep it so and, if they do not, negotiation can occur even at the closing table (we have done so when something no longer worked at pre-closing walk through and did proceed with fair accommodation).
Regarding the AC, totally agree with the poster that said perhaps they left it off (or set temp high) if not occupied. It's best to keep it on in FL (we leave it at 79) when not here due to the humidity here.
Re bugs, could be similar issue, if vacant for a while then traps could have dried out and allowed easier entry for bugs. We close drains (or leave rubber covers over) if gone for extended period.
