It would also be possible to run an air pump and put it somewhere the flea 
bomb wasn't going to be, and just run some airline tubing to the tank. This 
way you can pump air into the tank from an uncontaminated area, and 
maintain a positive pressure under the plastic film to keep the 
contaminated air from entering (like how the asbestos people seal buildings 
for abatement, but on a much smaller scale, and backwards :-)
