Before a trip should I turn off the water of my house?

I turn off the main valve of the water supply of my house but some tell me to add antifreeze in sinks and toilets to prevent roaches from coming up the pipes if the pipes dry up. Is this a good idea?

Put RV anti freeze in the "P" traps like you do in the RV. Does it stay there?I don't really know. If It does evaporate it would be slower. And it has a oily base. Should last long enough for your return.
Turn off the water valve to the house as you do to the RV when leaving for a length of time.I do. Witnessed to many flooded trailers with the water left on.
