NG Space Heater Pilot problem

pilot won't stay lit
It is fairly common for gas jets to get obstructed when idle. I think it may
be due to spiders or other insects. If you can disconnect the tube to the
pilot you may be able to blow it clear. Do NOT blow any pressure back into
the gas valve or it will likely be damaged. It is very easy to damage the
jet when doing so but careful work with a fine wire can clear it. A brush
bristle might work but might be easy to break off in the jet.
Thank you. This is helpful information.
