'Bumbling' Georgia man dramatically sets his house on fire in failed attempt to burn BEES out of their nest Georgia home destroyed in fire after the homeowner lit a stick to a bees nest Home's roof had flames through it after man tried to get rid of bees in the gutter The home was mostly destroyed in the Sunday fire

A man's attempt to burn bees out of their nest backfired after the ill-advised extermination method caught fire to a Georgia home, destroying most of it.

Fayette County Deputy Fire Chief Tom Bartlett says the homeowner lit a stick on fire Sunday, then tried to poke the flaming stick up into the bees' nest near the roof to get rid of them.

That set fire to part of the house, with the flames then spreading through the attic and engulfing much of the structure.

I wonder if he was tired of the house and found it couldn’t be sold for what it should be worth.......wonder if insurance covers that kind of “goof”.

Yes that is the house. Fayette County is just south, and a smidgen west, of Atlanta. Approximately 26 miles and a 30 minute drive, according to my search

Pyromaniac. A strong degreasing liquid soap laid down with an application sprayer is the choice of experts.

Gumout carb spray kills all bugs, a can in each hand, hose the top of the nest, everything it hits dies. Works like a charm!
