A Japanese man trying to kill a single cockroach inadvertently turned into a firebug when he blew up his own apartment
The epic pest control fail was reported in the city of Kumamoto on the island of Kyushu, about 230 miles southwest of Hiroshima.
Sometime before midnight, a 54-year-old man spotted a solitary cockroach inside his apartment in the city’s Chuo Ward and sprayed a massive amount of insecticide to wipe out the critter, reported the Mainichi Shimbun newspaper, citing the Kumamoto Prefectural Police.
A minute later, an explosion went off, blowing out a balcony window.
The unfortunate resident suffered a minor injury in the blast, police said.
An investigation into the fiery incident has uncovered burn marks near the victim’s kotatsu – a Japanese heating table.
