Are they corrosive or harmful in any way to guns in safes?

Maybe. Don't chance it, clean your firearms after you bug bomb.

and tape your safe up to seal it prior. I wouldn't risk it.

Just remember your going to handle them after the chemicals get on them, id move what I could prior to bombing.

This is what I would do. Tape all the door seams and whatnot on the safe prior to the bombing.

You'll be sorry when the termites eat all your rifle stocks.

What insects are you trying to kill? They don't work well for roaches, bed bugs or anything else that can hide in crevices.

IMO, I wouldn't risk my health, home or guns to a bug bomb.

No, your guns will be just fine. just wipe them down before handling them.
