Fumigatng House

We have to fumigate the house for associated pest problem. Will have to leave for 24 hours. What do I need to do to protect the tank system?
Help!!!
some call me frank

 

dont have the houe fumigated, or take it with you.
liquid spray from a pest controller works better than fumigation

 

if you have no choice I would try to cover the tank top with cling wrapas to get no direct contact and limit the amount of surface agitation in the tank/sump.

 

Seal it up tight with Plastic and Tape Tank and sump and get a good air pump and tubing and get the pump to a clean air location outside and pump in fresh out side air to semi pressurize the tank with clean air and that will keep the fumes out also from the Bug Bombs.. Make sure no water surface is exposed to the inside house air.. I had a friend to have to tent his home several yrs ago Termites and some other boring worm ? We used a small painting compressor to keep the reef tank under a constant pressure and as was fine nothing of any type of problems and his was tented for 4 or 5 days .

 

Shut skimmer off also.......

 

Thanks I forgot to mention we also used outside air to feed his skimmer aswell just more air PSI to help keep inside out out. I'm startint to suffer
Old Timers Disease I call it C.R.S disorder

 

That's what I did when I had to have the house sprayed for carpenter ants. Never had a single problem.

 

LOL I remember that several yrs ago I think I suggested that two you also Terry in Fl also had to have his house done . I may have told you to use a wet sheet and or wet drop cloth of some type ? Its works also But the hold plastice will plug it up tighter then Dicks hat band ..

 

Yup, I used a dry drop cloth but only because the treatment that I had was a spot treatment, not a fumigation

 

WOW, I would be nervous no matter what precautions!! Let us know what you did and how everything turns out so we can all learn a lesson!!!
