Humans are not much\ndifferent from them. A huge number of people\nfrom the Northern states of the US and Canada travel hundreds of miles to the\nSouthern region where there is warmth. These migrating citizens are simply\ncalled &quot;Snowbirds&quot; with all the affection. These snowbirds typically are those\nwho have retired or have a good amount of wealth to afford to be out of their\neveryday life and enjoy different weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Snowbirds travel for an extended period of time. Some people travel to a different state while others love to roam around through different continents. Some like to stay away for a couple of weeks while for others, it takes more than a month. Some snowbirds have a vacation home ready at where they travel to, some like to steer through hotels and some use an RV to go on exciting trips through states. But one thing is for certain, every snowbird needs to leave their own home for a long period of time. Some of them can afford to keep a maid or serviceman to take care of their house while some put up their houses for rent. But most of the snowbirds out there don&#39;t rely on others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What Do Snowbirds Do With Their Houses?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>When a house is unused for some time during the winter you need to prepare it. This means that you have to winterize it, to make sure that no pipes will rupture. The house needs to be pest-proof and needs to be looking as it is occupied during the time you are not there. Also, keep emergency contacts available.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"539\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wintersunexpert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/What-Do-Snowbirds-Do-With-Their-Houses.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1038\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wintersunexpert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/What-Do-Snowbirds-Do-With-Their-Houses.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.wintersunexpert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/What-Do-Snowbirds-Do-With-Their-Houses-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wintersunexpert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/What-Do-Snowbirds-Do-With-Their-Houses-768x460.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, to know what snowbirds do with their houses, we must keep in mind that it solely depends on every individual&#39;s choice. Asides from that, there are some common facts and habits that most of the snowbirds love to follow while leaving their loving house behind, unattended for weeks or even months. Everything from the water connection to the electricity needs proper care from weeks before leaving. There are a lot of things to worry about and anything can go wrong. But, don&#39;t worry. If you can fulfill the prime requirements and finish all the chores correctly, you might find your house as you left it even after months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a frequent\ntraveler who takes pride in roaming around through states in his own RV, I&#39;ve handled\nmy house perfectly even when I was away for\nthree months straight. In the beginning, when I just bought my RV and was\nthinking about traveling long distances, I felt puzzled about leaving my house\nfor weeks. There were a lot of things to worry about and I wasn&#39;t getting\nanywhere near a solution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I searched\nand searched\nfor hundreds of hours and finally started with some common practices. I admit\nit was a little bit tricky at first, but eventually, I got the hang of it. Now,\nI can travel for months without even worrying a little bit about my house,\nbecause I know with much confidence that it will be just as I left it. I&#39;m\ngoing to share my experiences, tips and tricks throughout this whole article so\nanyone looking for a good solution like I did can find it with ease.

For a snowbird, it is tough but not impossible.\nTo know what to do with your house while you&#39;re away for long, the first thing\nto do is to go through the basics. The basics include knowing every nook and\ncorner of the interior and exterior of your house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#39;re\nworrying too much about your house, stop worrying and sit down for a moment.\nThink about what can go wrong while you&#39;re away.

If you leave your home just as it is and day-by-day it\nstarts to look like there&#39;s nobody home, it will attract a lot of thieves for\nsure. By now, you&#39;ve surely wondered how can I keep my home looking occupied\nwhen nobody is even inside? Well, here&#39;s how you can do that!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Mail:<\/strong> Even if you&#39;re not in your house, the mailman will surely come every day and leave your mails inside the mailbox. At a certain period, the mailbox will overflow and it will be clear to everyone passing by it that there&#39;s nobody home. So, before you leave your house, forward your mails to a different address or contact the postal service to put a halt to your mails for the time being. The same thing goes for the newspaper too.<\/li><li><strong>Delivery items<\/strong> are another thing to worry about. You can&#39;t simply make a pile of delivery items at your front door as it will attract a lot of bad eyes. Contact someone near the house so they can pick-up the delivery items while you&#39;re away.<\/li><li><strong>Snowstorms<\/strong> are another thing to worry about. After a snowstorm, your house would be burdened with snow on the roof, the backyard, and possibly everywhere around. Leaving the snow as it is for a couple of days will make people curious. Don&#39;t let that happen. Contact a local service way before you leave so they can clean the snow if a snowstorm hits anytime.<\/li><li><strong>Motion sensitive lights:<\/strong> A very clever demonstration can be done through motion-sensitive lights. These lights come with timer settings and can go on\/off whenever you want them to. You can set a definite amount of lights throughout the inside and outside of the house and set the timer at a different time for each one. That way, the house will look more lively and prowlers will stay away for sure. Plus, the motion-sensors can detect movement around them and act accordingly.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&#8211; <strong><em>Layered Protection From Burglars<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Burglars love the\nwinter season because they know a lot of people travel to a faraway destination\nat that time. They&#39;re always looking for a good empty house to get into and\ntake everything they can carry. To avoid getting your house robbed, here are\nthe things you need to consider!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Alarm system:<\/strong> There are countless modern alarm systems that come with various types of sensors. From motion sensors to heat detectors, you can choose between thousands of alarm systems for better protection. Consider installing an alarm system with wireless connectivity if you don&#39;t already have one. That way, as soon as the alarms go off, the system will notify you and the local police. If you have a traditional alarm system already installed in your house, double-check it for errors before leaving your house.<\/li><li><strong>Good locks:<\/strong> Make sure the doors and windows have tightly sealed locks that can&#39;t be operated from the outside. Use deadbolts or hinges for better security at the doors. For sliding windows, install sliding locks and double-check everything before departure.<\/li><li><strong>Safe storing:<\/strong> The most precious objects and documents in your house must be kept inside safe storage. It can be anything from a deposit box to a coded storage system.<\/li><li><strong>No socials media:<\/strong> Another important thing to consider especially for social media addicts is to never share their travel plans online if there are unknown people who can view it. Thieves nowadays roam around the internet more than we do and it&#39;s totally unsafe to let them know your move when it can be used against you.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How To Winterize Your Home and Plumbing | Lowe&#039;s Expert Tips\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jvx_zAqCiEE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&#8211; <strong><em>Water Supply Management<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Water supply is\nby far the most important thing in your house. Some snowbirds might suggest you\nto completely disconnect the water supply before you leave. But, as I&#39;ve seen\nmany occurrences in the past, I will advise differently. There are two options\nfor you, in this case, you can either let it flow or stop it from the mainline.\nHere&#39;s what you need to do with your water supply if you&#39;re away for more than\na month!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong># Shutting Down The Water Supply<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Check:<\/strong> The main water supply that runs from the outside to each and every room in the house is created with countless interconnecting tubes. These tubes are prone to leakage and corrosion. If one of the pipes inside your house starts to leak, it won&#39;t make much of a difference in a day or two. But, it will flood the whole house a week or two for sure. To save your house from that, you can shut off the supply of water completely. But there are some exceptions also. If your house has a definite heating system, ask your supplier before turning it off. Again, if you have sprinklers for extinguishing a fire, keep the water supply on for that and make sure it&#39;s working perfectly before you leave.<\/li><li><strong>Empty all pipes:<\/strong> After shutting down the water supply, empty all the remaining water from each and every pipe inside the house. Flush all the toilets and use antifreeze to stop the remaining water from getting frozen over time. Be cautious to use non-toxic antifreeze or it may result in another disaster.<\/li><li><strong>A professional plumber<\/strong> can check the steps mentioned above for you. Hire a plumber right before you leave and tell him to check with compressed air so there is no leftover water inside the pipes.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"529\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wintersunexpert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/What-Do-Snowbirds-Do-With-Their-Houses-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1040\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wintersunexpert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/What-Do-Snowbirds-Do-With-Their-Houses-2.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.wintersunexpert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/What-Do-Snowbirds-Do-With-Their-Houses-2-300x176.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wintersunexpert.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/What-Do-Snowbirds-Do-With-Their-Houses-2-768x451.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong># Keeping The Water Supply Alive<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Protect your pipes:<\/strong> As water tends to form into ice pretty quickly in the cold season, you can&#39;t leave the pipes running with water without doing anything to moderate it. If you want to keep the water running, the furnace must be kept on too. That way, the water flowing through the pipes won&#39;t create any problem.<\/li><li><strong>Heaters:<\/strong> Get a clear view of the interior pipe design in your house and focus on keeping those pipes way above the freezing point. Place heaters near to the pipes so the water inside can stay warm.<\/li><li><strong>Empty the dishwasher and washing machine:<\/strong> Keep your dishwasher locked and remove the water supply from it. Do the same thing to your washing machine and remember to drain every last drop of water from each of them.<\/li><li><strong>Draining the outside pipes:<\/strong> Consider draining the pipes that are located outside your house.<\/li><li><strong>Heat sensor:<\/strong> Install a wireless heat sensor for the water supply. It can monitor the supply of water and notify you if there&#39;s any unusual activity or anything.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><em>&#8211; Making Your House Pest-proof<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The most annoying\nthing people see after returning from a long vacation is the unwanted growth of\npests inside their house. Pests can create a dangerous environment inside a\nhouse if they&#39;re allowed to stay for a long time. All your furniture and\nelectronic devices can get damaged because of various types of pests. Here&#39;s\nwhat you need to do to make sure pests don&#39;t take over your\nlovely home while you&#39;re away!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Clean:<\/strong> Keep every nook and corner of your house squeaky clean before you leave. If you find any type of pest, whether small or big, cute or dangerous, kill it immediately and use a corresponding insect killer. But, do not stay in your house while it&#39;s sprayed with pesticides. They contain harmful chemicals and your whole house can become a killing machine in a month if you do so.<\/li><li><strong>Deep clean the fridge and freezer: <\/strong>Perform a special cleaning and clean the refrigerator, freezer, and all the things that can attract pests. Don&#39;t leave any type of food item out in the open.<\/li><li><strong>Insects and birds:<\/strong> Double-check every possible way through which insects or birds can enter into the house. Keep your house completely sealed off and install nets at the air gaps.<\/li><li><strong>Check your chimney and fireplace thoroughly.<\/strong> It&#39;s not a job for a regular person to be honest. Hire a professional cleaner and closely inspect all the cleaning procedures to ensure the safety of your house.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How To Protect your Home from Rats, Mice &amp; Rodents -Jonny DIY\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gy_f_dsqhw0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&#8211; <strong><em>Keep Emergency Contacts Available<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if you do each\nand everything in the most accurate way, there&#39;s always a possibility of\nsomething going the wrong way. It can be a simple leak in the water supply or even\na false alarm. If you get notified about anything unusual while you&#39;re a thousand\nmiles away from your home, there&#39;s nothing you can do but panic, or is there?\nOf course, there&#39;s a way for everything. Here&#39;s what you need to do in case of\nemergencies!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Get the necessary contact information<\/strong> from the local police department and notify them about your vacation. That way, you&#39;ll have their service whenever you need and they&#39;ll keep an eye out on behalf of you.<\/li><li><strong>Smoke detectors<\/strong> are life savers when a house is vacant. Install at least one of these at each floor and make sure they work perfectly before you leave your house.<\/li><li><strong>Ask to keep an eye out:<\/strong> Ask your next-door neighbor or a friend who lives near your house to keep an eye out. If you trust them, leave a copy of your keys so they can act quickly in times of emergency.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#39;s probably\neverything you need to know or do with your house before\nyou can head to your warm destination without having to worry about your house\nevery day. As we are forgetful creatures, I know you won&#39;t have the time to go\nthrough each of the descriptions while you get ready for your vacation. So, for those of you who have endured all the way to this\npoint, here&#39;s a checklist for the final hours!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Checklist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure
