Bug bombing! What to do?

[jkdubs2]

Has anyone had any experience with bug bombing their home? I am concerned about my tanks! I can't move them because they are big and heavy. I can put trash bags I've the smaller ones but idk what to do with my 55g. If you have any exp. I would appreciate the help. Thanks in advance!

When I had my place done the exterminator said to cover the tank (55g) with a sheet provided the filtration system is closed eg canister type set up.

Otherwise cut open a trash bag and tape it down to the sides for a couple of hours. Your fishies will be fine.

Ok cool I do have hob filters on all my tanks an a canister filter on my 55g also. Any problems there? Also I have two aquatic turtles will they have enough o2 for 5 hour switch the trash bag over their tank. They are babies still. Or should I remove them for the time?

PERSONALLY I feel like they will be fine. Someone else may disagree.

I agree. They'll be fine for a few hours. I just unplug everything and cover tanks with trash bags and tape.
