一名男子在试图消灭蟑螂时，不小心把整个后院都炸了

Let’s be honest, nobody enjoys when their home gets infested by cockroaches. Not only do these insects make many of us squeamish, they are also resilient and fast-breeding, making them the most unwanted guests in our homes and gardens. But getting rid of cockroaches is not easy and a Brazilian man named Cesar Schmitz learned that the hard way, after his attempt resulted in an explosion.

老实说，没人喜欢家里蟑螂成灾。这些昆虫不仅让我们许多人感到恶心，它们还具有很强的适应力和快速繁殖能力，使它们成为我们家庭和花园中最不受欢迎的客人。但是要消灭蟑螂并不容易，一位名叫塞萨尔·施米茨的巴西人在经历了一番艰难的尝试后终于明白了这一点，他的尝试导致了一场爆炸。

Last week, after being fed up with the insects, 48-year-old Schmitz decided to take matters into his own hands and get rid of the cockroaches once and for all. The man told On News: “My wife complained that there were a lot of roaches invading our garden. She is scared of them and begged me to destroy their nest under the ground once and for all.”

上周，48岁的施密茨受够了蟑螂，决定亲自动手彻底消灭它们。这名男子在接受新闻采访时说:“我妻子抱怨说，有很多蟑螂爬进了我们的花园。她害怕它们，求我一劳永逸地毁掉它们在地下的巢穴。”

The first step Schmitz decided to take is to use a poisonous spray in hopes that it will be enough to kill the unpleasant insects. However, it didn’t seem to work, as cockroaches started fleeing out of their burrow.

施密茨决定采取的第一步是使用一种有毒的喷雾剂，希望它足以杀死这种讨厌的昆虫。然而，这似乎并不奏效，因为蟑螂开始从它们的洞穴里逃跑。

So he decided to try another solution – burn their nest to the ground. With his two dogs right beside him, the man used some gasoline and began tossing one burning match after another until a huge explosion tore his whole yard apart.

所以他决定尝试另一种解决办法——把他们的巢烧为平地。在他的两只狗的陪伴下，这名男子使用了一些汽油，并开始将一根燃烧的火柴扔向另一根，直到一场巨大的爆炸将他的院子炸得四分五裂。

The man was obviously left in shock while his dogs ran for their lives. Fortunately, nobody got hurt during the incident, well, except for the cockroaches – they weren’t so lucky this time.

当他的狗在逃命时，那个人显然被吓呆了。幸运的是，没有人在事故中受伤，除了蟑螂——他们这次没那么幸运了。

While the incident helped to get rid of the roaches and produced quite a funny video, we definitely do not recommend attempting it yourself, even Schmitz regrets it now. “I wish I’d thought this through before. I had no idea that this could happen. Luckily, the damage was only contained on the lawn. If I had been standing closer or the table had hit me, it could have been fatal.”

虽然这一事件帮助清除了蟑螂，并制作了一个相当有趣的视频，但我们绝对不建议你自己尝试，即使是Schmitz现在也后悔了。“我希望我以前就想清楚了。我不知道会发生这种事。幸运的是，损坏只发生在草坪上。如果我站得更近些，或者桌子撞到我，我可能会丧命。”
