Man blows up apartment spraying for bugs?
NEW YORK, July 21 - A New Jersey man trying to exterminate insects in his apartment blew it up instead, the New York Daily News reported on Monday.
Isias Vidal Maceda was unhurt in the incident, but 80 percent of his apartment was destroyed, Eatontown, New Jersey police told the newspaper.
The accident occurred as Maceda was spraying for pests in his kitchen. Somehow the bug spray ignited a blast that blew out the apartment’s front windows and triggered a fire that quickly spread, the newspaper said.
Police told the newspaper that the Saturday blaze also caused smoke damage to the apartment above.

I figured that was it too! Not funny really, especially if you’re living next door or in the same building.

I should take heed actually. My husband was jut down spraying in the basement because we seem to have an awful lot of flies down there suddenly.
There is a pilot on both our furnace and hot water heater down there.

You should bury the bodies deeper, that will help with the flies.

There were some good explosions in the episode of Mythbusters where they tested this.
Actually bugbombs…
