JDM Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 its that time of year again, bugs and fleas are coming out to play :evil: im wanting to use a bug bomb inside my house this year to prevent these creepy crawly's from comming inside. im not sure what to do about my tank, should i cover it with some thick blankets? should i close off that end of the house? (this would make the bug bomb less efective) or should i just put up with the bugs? has anyone used a bug bomb around an open tank? do you think the toxins would affect the tank?

HelifaxNZ Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 We use bed sheets to cover the tanks and tell the BUGMAN to be extra careful around the tank i.e. don't go near it with the spray. Have been wanting to use those BOMBS but too scared to with the tanks, but if you have the tank sealed by the sheets, even if they are the plastic type, then it "should" be ok.

Ira Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Or don't bug bomb the house and just get a spray bottle of no spiders and a roll of paper towels to kill any spiders that happen to come in and be bad houseguests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
