leetric0 Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 Hey guys, I wasnt really to sure where to post this but im sure itll be fine here. Tomorrow i am having my house flea bombed or whatever you want to call it and i was wondering how can i protect my fish and turtles. Do you think a couple of towels covering them will be fine or will i need to use something else in case it seeps through the towel. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godly3vil Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 Turn all air pumps off. Also I would use something like either a tarpaulin or the equivalent depending on the size of your tanks. Even those black plastic rubbish bag you buy from the supermarket would be good if you have small tanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dachende Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 I flea bombed with a towel covering the tank, and air pumps turned off- no problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leetric0 Posted January 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 Rubbish bags over the tanks sound like a good idea. I was gonna just use towels but its to risky with all my dollars worth of stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zayne Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 when we do a flea bomb i do i water change the day before and cover the tank with towels and glad wrap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
land_lubber Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 I just cover with a sheet and then a couple of towels as well. The black rubbish bag idea is good if you have a small tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F15hguy Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 also make sure you remove/cover all of your equipment. no point covering the tank if your gravel siphon/bucket etc... gets bombed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
