If nobody lives there winterise it and shut off the heat, you worry to
much about mold and mildew. Plus you will kill any termites.

I doubt there are termites there that far north. Not absolutely positive. I
think fleas though croak below 50 degrees. Any time I was in a house where
I even suspected there might be fleas, I would undress outside, put clothes
in a plastic bag and toss them in the freezer overnight.
