is hot stuff fogger safe around infants and pets?

Just read the user manual because I had the same question. It says: "Do not allow adults, children or pets to enter the treated area until vapors, mists and aerosols have dispersed and the treated area has been thoroughly ventilated." So, it looks like it is safe as long as it has "dispersed" and the area is "thoroughly ventilated".

Do you have to turn off your pilot lights before use?

It says right on the front of the box "No need to turn off pilot lights" so you should be fine to leave it on. Maybe just don't place the can right next to the stove.

I only want to fog my single bedroom. Do I need to cover(wash) my bedding, clothing before I go to bed or wear it?

I called the number on the Hot Shot Bedbug and Fleas box and I received help on the phone. They answered this question for me and said that as long as the product is dry, it is completely safe by the time you go back into your room. You do not need to cover/wash your bedding or clothing. The only thing they said was to vacuum if you have a carpet, just so you can get rid of the dead fleas on the floor.

Do you have to/should you cover beds & bedding around this?

No, you do not have to cover anything. Just put some newspaper down on the floor where the aerosol can goes. I have never had anissue with any residue.

No Insects Here

Always buy these. Set off every four months. Never see insects. I assume effective since living in hot Texas heat. Pay for what you get. First time to buy these again dry fogger and not the wet. For me the dry is worth the cost. If you can only afford the wet go for it. Sprayed well. All of mine sprayed! Odorless.

I used these in my outdoor sheds in August. I had seen many large brown spiders! Worked great to be able to get in & get things without worry.
