My point is, fumigation is not safe for anyone whether human or animal. I wouldn't do it lightly for any reason. Personally, the only situation I would fumigate my house for would be bed bugs or cockroaches. Other than that, it's not necessary and there are other methods of control.

Agreed.
Anyway, what I would do if I had no access to shrink-wrap I would cut big green-garbage bags into giant sheets and tape them down to each other so fewer fumes would get into the tank = easier cleaning. Also remove all decorations etc out of the tanks. I dunno, maybe that wouldn't work.

We have cockroaches and bees. We've tried everything else in the past 6 months.

Re: Home Fumigation
What gungirl said. Shrinkwrapping would not only just make more work for you, and i know you'd clean it out after no matter what, but i would think it would make it worse, since the shrink wrap is not vent proof, it would perhaps trap more chemicals inside it that would take longer to dissipate.
You can bleach it, vinegar it, then spray it with f10, and go from there. : )

Re: Home Fumigation
So the bee guy came today. We have a huge hive in part of the roof above one room. There are approximately 20,000 bees.
About 3,000 of them have come down and gathered on a window... The bee guy took this photo for me

Re: Home Fumigation
Unfortunately he can't relocate them (and the queen bee has died), so he will be exterminating all of them
