Man burns home trying to kill bees

January 12, 2007

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.

Of course the question is… did he at least get the bees?

He probably didn’t since the bees seem smarter than the homeowner… not to mention Bees are really very good at sensing smoke and escaping.
