I attended a seminar this winter sponsored by Florida State University on closing your seasonal home. They suggested the AC to be set between 80 and 85. They said not to run your ceiling fans because they are not meant for long time usage. Empty, wash out and turn off refrigerator. Prop door open. Leave closets and drawers open. Turn off water to toilets. Flush and put a cup of bleach in bowl (not tank). Cover toilet bowl and tank with Saran wrap. Throw out or take home anything in your kitchen cupboards that is not sealed. Even sugar in packets can attract ants. If you know your neighbors well enough have them do an occasional walk through.
