Bug bombs go boom!

Every year I read of this, usually in some guy's house.

NYC Building Collapses

A building in New York's Chinatown collapsed Thursday after an explosion in a hair salon on the building's first floor, where firefighters found boxes of roach bombs that had been "improperly used."

The insect-fighting bombs help kill cockroaches and other critters that occasionally plague Chinatown buildings.

The explosion led to a roaring fire that engulfed the building and led to its collapse, injuring a dozen people, including four firefighters, according to the New York Daily News.
