When setting a bug bomb off for pest control do you need to turn off your natural gas?

1. Really you should turn off any open flame. The risk is low but it will make it even lower. Also, unplug electrical appliences.
2. Yea, it's best to turn off pilot lights. The stuff is very flammable.
3. Yes, and if you read the directions, you'd know that.
4. i have been told u need to turn the pilot lights out like to your stove/oven...hot water heater etc.due to a slight risk of fire....if u do this then yes definitely turn off the natural gas at the meter....if u don't feel comfortable doing it contact your local gas company
5. According to this source, YES--you must turn off ALL IGNITION SOURCES (Hot Shot Home Products Brand News) How to Use DO NOT use more than one fogger per room. Turn off ALL ignition sources such as pilot lights (shut off gas valve), and other open flames or running electrical appliances that cycle off and on (such as refrigerators, thermostats, etc.). Call your utility or management company if you need assistance with your pilot light.
6. Yes. Did you see Mythbusters?
