Man blows up apartment spraying for bugs
Mon Jul 21, 1:27 PM ET
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 guess that's what happens when you smoke and spray bug killer at the same time? You get a free apartment makeover?
Most likely a pilot light - he probably lit off one of those bug bombs - they say right on the can to douse all pilot lights and turn off electrical appliances - they even say it in Spanish....
holy.. HELL..
I wonder if he has any more roaches?
That's what I was wondering. Did he get the bugs?
Love your new sig line, Wolfie.
