An American man trying to kill spiders with a blowtorch accidentally burnt down his house, officials have said.
The unnamed man is thought to have been using a propane torch to burn the spiders living underneath the trailer.
But he accidentally created a massive blaze and 23 firefighters were forced to contain it.

He isn’t the first to do this and won’t be the last.

Diatomaceous earth works too. Less damaging. We sprinkle it everywhere. It will kill bugs forever if not blown or washed away.

Do you order it online or buy locally?

I bought my last bag at All Seasons Gardening and Brewing Supply in Nashville but it’s available online. Be sure to get “food grade.” It is finely ground fossil shell and is harmless to birds, pets, anything but crawling insects and slugs. Good stuff!

He had to destroy the trailer to save the trailer.

I came close to doing this in a trailer I once rented.
Used a hairspray and lighter torch to burn a wasp nest under the corner of the trailer and caught it on fire. A friend and I quickly got it put out before it did much damage, but we had to peel siding back to get to it!
Dumb things we do when we're young...

It said that 23 firefighters were “forced” to contain it. Were they reluctant because they felt he brought it on himself? ;-)

Easier to just spray a vinegar mixture around to chase them away...
