Man tries to kill spiders using a blow torch – burns his home to the ground

Kill it with fire - but don't take it too far.

On Sunday night, a man in Tucson, Arizona accidentally burned his house down when he was trying kill spiders using a blow torch. According to the Daily Mirror the as-yet-unnamed homeowner was thought to be trying to burn alive spiders and insects that were beneath a trailer next to his home.

Using a propane flamethrower, his mobile house then caught fire, and the huge blaze had to be doused by 23 firefighters.

The Tuscson Fire Department is investigating the cause of the blaze, but firefighters believe the spider burning to be the source.
