Munich: man lights wasp’s nest – and almost his house – Munich

What you shouldn’t do, however, is make your personal contribution to insect mortality. And certainly not with a fire in your own house.

Because of the thick smoke, he soon had other worries than the wasps. He dialed 911 and put out most of the flames before emergency services arrived. The fire brigade could not quantify the extent of the damage to the roller shutter box – but did not leave the house without “intensive clarification”, as she announced.
