Maybe He Thought They Were Fire Ants
A 74-year-old Polish pensioner destroyed an entire block of flats when he poured insecticide down a ventilation shaft after being driven potty by ants. The man used gallons of insecticide but when it seemed to have no effect on the insects he threw a burning towel down the shaft. He is being treated in hospital but no one else was injured.
FOOTNOTE: The bug stops here.

Egads. Another one for the Darwin awards. only, he survived.
I never heard of throwing the towel in--in exactly that way.
Well...did he get rid of the ants?
Ahh, someone's beaten me to it! The quip about "well, did he get rid of the ants?" part of the story.
Well, they ARE quite resilient creatures---but I'll bet it slowed 'em down a bit, anyways!
And took care of the wasp-nests as well! To say nothing of how he "cleaned-up" the neighborhood, eh???
Were they fire ants?
