A SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA, MAN DECIDED TO DO something about the swarms of cockroaches in his apartment Sunday night. He went to the store and bought some “bug bombs” and placed them around his apartment. The instructions on the box say that one bomb, two at the very most, is all that should be used.
However, the numerically-challenged resident lit off 18 of them and took his family out for the evening. While they were out, the gas built up and it is presumed that it was the refrigerator motor kicking on that ignited it. The resulting blast destroyed the kitchen, shattered every window, caused a hole in the building’s foundation, and blew the roof up a full foot before it fell back onto the building.
Sacramento Metro Fire estimates there to be about $1 million in damages to the building. Three of the apartments have been condemned and now at least 12 residents are homeless. But the cockroaches are still there…..at home.
