11 Things to Never Do When You Leave for Vacation

1) Forget the Trash
Nobody wants to come home to a messy house after a nice relaxing vacation, so you clean up and order take out. One thing you don’t want to do is forget to take out the trash, especially if you live somewhere prone to fury intruders like mice, racoons or even bears who are not beyond breaking and entering if they smell something interesting. Insects are another likely result of leaving your trash in the house or even sitting out in the cans. You’re better off putting it to the curb no matter what. Arrange for a friend or neighbor to bring your garbage pails in while your away and check on your place for you, just in case. There’s nothing worse than coming home to an unexpected mess. So, make a check list before you leave, and be sure to put “take out the trash” at the top!
