Man trying to kill bees sets home ablaze
Thu Jan 11, 8:06 PM ET
CAPE CORAL, Fla. - A man who tried to keep bees off his property accidentally set fire to his house instead, causing at least $500 damage.
Franklyn Pigott Jr. set his home ablaze Wednesday while attempting to destroy a nest of bees that had formed outside the home, the Fort Myers News-Press reported Thursday.
When Pigott, 38, mixed a product called Real Kill Indoor Fogger with WD-40, it became a "flame-thrower" and melted the home's vinyl siding, according to a police incident report.

I thought it was pretty stupid when my 12 year-old nephew did something like this. But a grown man....?

Only $500 damage ? Thats not a fire. Thats a failed attempt to start a fire.
