A bellows injects O2 into the flame causing it to burn hotter. Much like blowing on a hot ember while trying to get a fire started.

Can you spray this inside a gas fireplace for wasps before using the fireplace?
Well, we don't know what IT is- you did not share that with us. However, many spray insecticides are combustible- they can burn. IF you used an insect spray in a fireplace, you should wait several hours before lighting a fire, and give the flue time to air out. Or you may get a large KAWHOOF when lighting the fire. Be sure that a large wasp or hornet nest has not blocked the flue.

Does rotating a gas valve on an indoor fireplace counterclockwise open or close the gas line?
All gas fireplaces have to have a shut-off valve within 10' and that will turn so the key or the handle is parallel to leave gas on and perpendicular to turn gas off. The valve inside the fireplace turns but not indiscriminately. The inner valve will turn to the pilot setting and depress to light the pilot. Once the pilot os stable the knob will un-depress and turn to the On position. For a manual valve this will turn on the gas flow to the main burners. If using a switch or remote turning the valve to On leaves the fireplace valve in a Ready position so the switch or remote will turn on the gas.
