Unplug appliances
Another thing to keep in mind is electricity; it is very important to unplug your devices to avoid short circuits.
Dispose your garbage
With the summer weather, insects make their presence felt, especially if they are left with organic trash, for this reason it is essential that you do not leave garbage inside your house, this will also prevent bad odors.
Security heads-up
The most important thing about a vacation is to be able to leave without worries, therefore, security is the most important thing and to achieve it, it will be of vital importance that you make sure to lock all doors and windows, as well as the correct programming of your alarm. On the other hand, it is important that you can leave a copy of the keys with someone you trust in case it is needed. If possible program some routines on your smart devices to make it look like your home is occupied.
