How to kill bed bugs. Step 1 - pour alcohol on them. Step 2 - light them on fire.

Five People Escape Home After Furniture Lit On Fire

COLUMBUS, Ohio - Five people escaped a house fire early Wednesday morning on Fornoff Road in South Columbus.

A teenager living inside the home says he spotted a bed bug on the couch and tried to use alcohol to kill it.

His grandmother then tried to light the bug on fire, which lit the couch on fire.

Two adults and three children made it out safely.

Most of the damage is to the rear of the house.

We should ban lighters and matches. Only the government needs them.
