Need to bug bomb

[Gavin1274]

Hey everyone, I was planning on big bombing my house today and I need to know if it is safe for my aquarium or steps I need to do before doing the bug bomb. Thank you all in advance!!

No idea, I would think wrap it in plastic and seal it air tight...maybe as the bug bombers if they have any suggestions, I'm sure they ran into this issue before

I hate to tell you it’s not safe at all for your aquarium, especially the fogging ones. If you must I would wrap the aquarium in plastic and tape it sealed to the floor if you have a sump or tape plastic all around the glass. I know somebody that just did this and it didn’t end well for the tank....

How big is the tank? Is it possible to remove all contents of the tank into a temporary container for a while? Maybe in a detached garage or something?

I know of one complete tank fatality from bug bombing the house. I don't if it's specific to the type of agent used or the delivery method, but if I were in your shoes, I would remove all of the livestock from the tank and store at a friends/LFS. If for some reason that wasn't an option, I would seal the tank up, but that really would be my second best option.
