Yeetle Box - It's a Bug's Death

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. There were no sign of bugs, either, so it was a bitter-sweet moment for Mr. Maceda.

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.

Said Maceda, "That RAID bug spray works too good."

Police told the newspaper that the Saturday blaze also caused smoke damage to the apartment above.

They also noted no presence of bugs of any species within a four block radius of the explosion.
