Man Accidentally Blows Up His Entire Backyard While Trying To Get Rid Of Cockroaches
Let’s be honest, nobody enjoys it when their home gets infested by cockroaches. Not only do these insects make many of us squeamish, but they are also resilient and fast-breeding, making them the most unwanted guests in our homes and gardens. But dealing with a cockroach infestation is not easy and a Brazilian man named Cesar Schmitz learned that the hard way, after his attempt resulted in an explosion.
Last week, after being fed up with the roach infestation, 48-year-old Schmitz decided to take matters into his own hands and get rid of the scary bugs once and for all. The man told On News: “My wife complained that there were a lot of roaches invading our garden. She is scared of them and begged me to destroy their nest under the ground once and for all.”
The first step Schmitz decided to take is to use a poisonous spray in hopes that it will be enough to kill the unpleasant insects. However, it didn’t seem to work, as cockroaches started fleeing out of their burrow.
So he decided to try another solution – burn their nest to the ground. With his two dogs right beside him, the man used some gasoline and began tossing one burning match after another until a huge explosion tore his whole yard apart.
The man was obviously left in shock while his dogs ran for their lives. Fortunately, nobody got hurt during the incident, well, except for the cockroaches – they weren’t so lucky this time.
While the funny accident helped to get rid of the roaches and produced quite a funny video, we definitely do not recommend attempting it yourself, even Schmitz regrets it now. “I wish I’d thought this through before. I had no idea that this could happen. Luckily, the damage was only contained on the lawn. If I had been standing closer or the table had hit me, it could have been fatal.”

Share on FacebookStupid! The correct way to get rid of cockroaches is to nuke the whole planet. Three times as they'll survive the first one, second one is to make sure and the third is just in case.
Cockroaches survive nuclear blasts. They swarmed Hiroshima and Nagasaki after the blast. Roaches can survive 24 hours in the vacuum of space.

How many gallons of gasoline did this guy use to produce such a blast? And cockroaches don't seem to have only a burrow, but a whole network of tunnels!
Load More Replies...OMG this is so funny. I just howled with laughter watching that video!
It really pisses me off that he tried to do this with his dogs so close. They could have been seriously injured because he's a dumbass.
What a complete jack a*s. He steps back every time but lets the dogs just sit right there and watch. Until they're scared out of their minds. I hope they never forgive him!
Now that's a little much for cockroaches, now SPIDERS on the other hand.
That would be impossible (and also there was one walking on the bottom left of the screen, I don't think the blast even injured that one)

Am I a bad person for laughing, since the whole page is full of adds for American Dad?
It would have been even better if he had been dressed as Bill Murray in "Caddyshack"
If it is a bug in my garage, it is dead. It might have been heading for the house. If it is a mouse in the house, it is dead, either me or the cat. I have killed a raccoon, an opossum and a skunk because they were in my garage and wouldn’t leave because I had three little boys going in and out all day playing.
