We here at KYSS FM have a number of excellent exterminators that advertise with us.

So if you need a recommendation, please ask us before you fire up the flamethrower. Even in instances of the most disgusting of household pests, the cockroach.

Unfortunately, Associated Press tells us that was not the strategy of an apartment resident in Centralia, Washington, who started a small fire when he went after cockroaches with a homemade blowtorch. Fortunately, no one was injured and by the time firefighters arrived, the fire had been extinguished.

The tenant's recipe? Bug spray and a lighter. What could possibly go wrong? No word on the number of cockroach casualties.
