Save the one-page checklist before you fly north.
Use it to cover the easily missed details: visible leaks, food that may attract pests, secured doors and windows, thermostat settings, and a reliable local check-in plan.
- Scan for moisture. Look under sinks and around visible plumbing.
- Remove attractants. Clear perishables and open food.
- Secure the envelope. Confirm doors, sliders, and windows.
- Set the interior. Review thermostat and humidity settings.
