Man blows up house to get rid of cockroaches – cockroaches survive the blast

It’s a nightmare come true when you’ve got a cockroach infestation in your house. It can drive you crazy, cause sleepless nights and cause a lot of damage.

So when it all gets too much, what do you do? You take matters in to you own hands, like this man, who doused his house in roach spray hoping it would do the trick.
Except it all went wrong when the build up of fumes from the household insecticide led to an explosion, which tore apart the house.

To make it worse, the cockroaches were still there after the blast according to Merto UK
The two adults and a young child who were inside the apartment at the time were taken to hospital as a precaution.

The blast happened on Wednesday around 10pm and smashed all the apartment’s windows.
According to the city’s code enforcement officer, the roach spray did not have the intended effect.

Garrett M. Giberson said: ‘The unit was infested with roaches. When I got on scene I saw numerous roaches crawling throughout the apartment.’
