Go out to your gas meter and shut off the inlet. It's the valve that has a spot to put a paddle lock through it if the gas company shuts off gas and then locks it out. The valve is a 1/4 turn on the street side of the diaphragm. It's harmless. What that will do is allow your pilot lights (furnace, water heater, etc) to deplete the line from the meter and simply burn out the supply, they will go out. The point is not to have flames present when you set the bombs off because as others have said, they are explosive. Get rid of flames, no problem. Can put one in each room at that point. I think that once you set them off though, be quick, and exit quick and don't come back until the next day. Most say not to enter for at least four hours. Once, years ago I set them off and entered after about two hours. I walked in the back door, through the house and out the front door. I barely made it. Start by setting them off as far away from your exit as possible, don't waste time setting them off and exiting.
Some years ago some lady a few miles from me leveled her home. Blew it to bits. Her mistake was setting off bombs in every room of the house...and not shutting off the pilot lights. No one was hurt, but she broke lots of neighbors windows. The secret? Light a burner on the stove, go out and shut off that valve at the gas meter, go back in and watch the burner go out...depleted the gas, pilots all extinguished, safe to bomb at that point. When you're done (next day to be safe), open that valve at the meter, you will hear the diaphragm pressurize, then go inside and light your pilot lights.
Decades ago I purchased a used antique dresser from someone. Turns out they had cock roaches. None left with me, but they lay their eggs in cracks, in corners, under furniture and you name it. Their eggs are coated with some sort of wax that bug bombs won't penetrate. You can either bomb again in a month when they hatch and are too young to lay their own eggs, or can spray and coat them if you see them. Roaches come out of their eggs eating, eat the poison, and...
Good luck. Shut the gas off first, you will be ok.

Today's Featured Article - Uncle Cecil's Super A Lives Again - by Mike Purcell. A week or so out of most of my childhood summers was often spent with my Uncle Cecil and Aunt Sissie in the small East Texas town of Maydelle on their 80 acre farm. Some of my fondest memories of these visits are those of learning to drive a tractor at the helm of Uncle Cecil’s 1948 Farmall Super A. Uncle Cecil was the second owner of this wonderful little tractor, but it was almost as though he had adopted an infant. The original owner was a man from Minnesota who bought her from a local dea
