Reef tank and Exterminator

[Bustyraker]

So I have been notified that my townhome will be sprayed next monday. I was aware of pesticides being sprayed outside periodically in the lease but I didnt think they would be spraying inside also. Does anyone have any tips to prep my tank for this? I have a very heavily stocked sps tank with many high end corals that I dont want to lose. I am off of work all next week and plan on being here right until they come. So far I plan to turn off all of my pumps and skimmer when they arrive and depending on the extent of the spraying I will wrap the tank in saran wrap, but only if I need to. Im sure theres several people on here who have reef tanks in apartments or rental homes who have to deal with this also, so what have you done?

Everything went well, I covered the tank in plastic sheeting and shut off all pumps for a few hours before and after he was here and kept the skimmer off for the remainder of the day. Threw in some fresh carbon afterwards and everything is fine
