SAN DIEGO, Calif. - A San Diego family living in a house infested with cockroaches set off 19 "bug bomb" foggers in their home, causing an explosion that virtually blew the home apart, according to police.Local 6 News reported that the home's windows, doors and walls were blown off and Christmas decorations were sent into the street.

The three people who lived inside the house at 3715 Euclid Ave. reportedly set off the bombs and left just after 8:30 a.m. Wednesday. No one was injured in connection with the explosion but a neighbor, who is pregnant, was taken to a hospital after she felt nauseous from breathing the fumes. A nearby house was also damaged when the exploded home's rear wall fell onto its exterior.

Each bug bomb is designed to kill insects in a 700-square-foot area, and the home was reportedly only 470 square feet, according to the report.

'Investigators believe the bug bombs were ignited by a pilot light on a wall heater. '

Because the damn things don't work. BTW, heard it from the office. It's common news now.
