Is this an Emergency?

I have a moth infestation in my house and I have tried mothballs, traps everything but a bomb. Can someone advise me what to do with my tank. Everything is going so well in it and I'm afraid if I start moving things I will mess up the ecosystem. Although I would imagine that everything will die if I bomb my house. So anyone have any suggestions on this. Please help, I HATE moths!

You need to seal the tank if you are going to bug bomb your tank. It has to be airtight while the chemical is in the air or it can get into your tank.

I know of someone who did this. He bought a large piece of plastic, 1.5 mil I think, covered the tank and stand, taped the plastic to the floor all around the tank. He added a PH with a piece of tubing to the venturi and ran it out a nearby window, he also added another piece, not connected to anything, that would allow the tank to breath. The window was right next to the tank, but he may have added an air pump as well.

I had purchased a bed from sleepys. Turns out it was infested with bedbugs. I had my house bombed. All I did was cover the tank with plastic. Everything was fine.

If they are very small moths you could have "Indian meal moths" and no need to Bomb.. you just need "Safer Pantry Pest Traps"
