Aussie restaurant owner blows up his restaurant.

I've heard of people doing this to their homes, but... :crazy:

Restaurant Explodes After Cockroach Control Snafu

POSTED: 4:04 pm CDT April 7, 2005

PERTH, Australia -- An Australian restaurant owner's attempt to get rid of cockroaches in his kitchen has left his eatery in ruins.

The owner set off 36 fumigation devices. However, he apparently forgot to extinguish an oven pilot flame.

Fire officials said the ensuing explosion lifted the roof off of the Thai restaurant, blew out the back wall as well as the front window and caused the ceilings to cave in. Three men were hospitalized with burns.

1. Serves him right.

The only authentic Australian restaurant is Outback Steakhouse.

2. That's why you call in a PMP

Pest Management Professionals, that is. A little clean up on his part and the proper use of bait and a little spraying and his problem would have been solved. Our company has seen roaches so bad it would make a horror movie look like a comedy, and we've dealt with it safely. Seriously, if you have a major pest problem, its best to hand it over to the pros.

3. He shoulda called

Steve Irwin. He would have rounded up all those little buggers and make them tap dance.

But on a more serious note, I agree, professionals are the way to go.
