"Bug bombs" destroy Millville house

MILLVILLE, N.J. (AP) - November 9, 2008 Eleven firefighters responded to the residence Thursday morning after the man set off "bombs," or canisters of insecticide, to kill the bugs in his home.

But authorities say the man used many more than recommended by the manufacturer, and the pilot light from his stove ignited the fumes and caused an explosion.

No one was injured in the blast, but the city construction official condemned the man's house.
