Hey folks! I'm dealing with a pesky German roach issue and trying to seal up any holes. I spotted a gap behind my stove where the gas pipe comes through and I'm wondering if using spray foam there is a good idea. Is it a fire hazard? As a first-time homeowner, I'm still learning the ropes. Do I need to make sure the foam can handle heat? Thanks for any advice!

There's a specific type of foam that's labeled as "Fire Retardant." While it might not be strictly necessary for sealing that gap, it could give you peace of mind knowing it helps prevent fire from spreading. You can find it at any hardware store, so it's worth considering!
You can definitely use spray foam to seal that hole! Just make sure the foam is suitable for heat. It's a straightforward fix that can help prevent pests from coming in.
Thanks! I actually grabbed a can of "Great Stuff" brand gap filler, so I think I should be good to go!
