Man's wasp plan destroys garage, car

FARDAL, Norway (UPI) -- A Fardal, Norway, man said his attempt to rid his garage of wasps ended with the structure burning to the ground with his car inside.

The elderly man said he poured lighter fluid on a rag and lit it in an attempt to smoke the wasps out of their nest, but the flames spread to the woodpile that held the nest and ignited a blaze that took down the entire garage, Aftenposten reported Thursday.

"Maybe using lighter fluid wasn't such a good idea, but it was an accident all the same and the wasps are gone," the man said.

He said he is waiting to hear from his insurance company to see if the loss of his garage and car will be covered.

Wasp Man

Cheaper and easier to just go to a store and buy a wasp spray. 1000 tons of explosives would get rid of them also, but I'd still go with the wasp spray.
