A dry drain is an open invitation for insects, rodents, or even snakes to crawl up. Keeping the P-trap moist helps block their entry.
✅ Step 1: Fill a glass halfway with water.
✅ Step 2: Place a dry piece of paper in the sink.
✅ Step 3: Turn the glass upside-down over the paper.
✅ Step 4: Repeat for every sink & shower drain in the house.
Bonus Tip:
For extra protection, pour ½ cup of vinegar + 1 tbsp baking soda down drains before leaving to prevent clogs.
Long trips (2+ weeks)
Dry climates (faster evaporation)
Older homes (prone to plumbing issues)
🚫 Sewer smells filling your home
🚫 Drain flies or bugs appearing

This $0 hack takes 10 seconds but can save you from costly repairs and nasty surprises. Next time you travel, don’t just lock up—leave a glass in the sink!
