Guess what happens when gasoline and a match are used to rid the garden of roaches?
At least the dogs are okay and the intended target can be seen skittering over the tiles to safety before the blast.

Viral video shows a man blow up his backyard trying to kill a few cockroaches – BGR

Odds are, the roaches survived. His yard, not so much.

I missed the part where the guy said "hold my beer."

Wonder what he was thinking when it exploded!

Don't know what he was thinking but the dog was thinking I'm out of here. Beagle laying there watching is long gone when the dust settles.

The dogs were smarter than he was.

But, he's discovered a new way to "till the soil".

That don't make sense.

I've seen the video on other boards. Posters theorize that he was after gophers or moles. Some type of burrowing animal.

That would make sense. Put gasoline or maybe propane down in a tunnel, and touch it off, and you can get that explosion.

But roaches are surface animals. if you were trying to kill roaches with gasoline you would spray it on the grass. That would give you a fire, but not an explosion.

I don't know what he was attempting to do, but I do not believe it was kill roaches.

I think he was just trying to get out of mowing the lawn!

He'd spend less time mowing that tiny yard. I feel for the dogs. Beagles that can't explore aren't beagles.

Bet ya his neighbors are the roach problem too.

For the rest of the season, I’d think.

You and I both but I'm not giving him any credit for sense.

...maybe next time he should just try shootin' 'em...

Green side up.

andy52 · Oct 24, 2019

I looked up the video and it's from Brazil they must have some dang big cockroaches down there.

lrrifleman · Oct 24, 2019

He must have watched Caddy Shack beforehand!

Rustyt1953 · Oct 24, 2019

Chinch bugs.

Well, something was running along the tiles before the blowup. If it's a bug and big enough to see on an El Cheapo security cam, you probably don't want it in your house.

BTW, how do you say "redneck" in Portuguese?

I had to look that one up, but there is a Portuguese translation it's "Caipira"...…..
