Stirling Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 Hi I've a bit of a borer problem and was planning on setting of a borer bomb in the house. Are there any precautions you would take with a fish tank? I was going to turn off the filter and cover the whole thing in a sheet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharn Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 If your filter isnt run on air then dont turn it off. Im not sure how potent those bombs are but a couple of heavy blankets and possibly an air line run from outside the house (clean air gets pumped into the tank then) may be a good plan? You may need to make the tank as airproof as possible depending on how strong the bombs are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brishe Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 When we had the insect man come and spray for flies he covered our tanks with big sheets of plastic(like large black rubbish bags) and we turned the filters off. Everything survived. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stirling Posted April 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 Great. Thanks for the advice. Think I'll turn the filter off and cover in a couple of thick blankets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HummingBird Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 When doing a flea bomb I stuffed plastic bags into all the gaps in the lips of my tanks and everything was fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
