But did it kill the cockroaches?

Anyone who’s ever had to deal with a pest problem knows how difficult, time-consuming and straight-up annoying it can be. Whether it’s mice, termites, squirrels or something entirely, having to rid your house of the pests will turn even the most caring person into a committed psycho, hell-bent on ridding these invasive animals from your land.

One of the main problems with pest control is that some animals are really, really hard to kill. Cockroaches, for example, are famously difficult to destroy — which may be why this guy thought it was a good idea to fill the hole in his backyard and set it on fire.

 It was not, in fact, a good idea.
