As the title states. let's start a good discussion here. Let the topic be.....

Fumigation of houses with aquariums. What do you feel about it? So it be done? Or not? And which type should/shouldn't be done?

I personally feel that fumigation of a household with "smoke bombs" especially those with aquariums should not be done due to the fact that the "poison fumes" will eventually settle. And when it does; if it settles on the tanks water you are introducing the poisons into the water effectively contaminating the tanks water.

The type of pest control that I feel should be used should done with sprayers and baits. I would definately just use baits in the rooms with the tanks. To try and minimize the ammount of airborne pesticides which can possibly be introducted in the tanks.

Just my two cents.
