A man in France has accidentally blown up part of his house while trying to chase a fly with an electric swat.
The man in his 80s,was eating his dinner on Friday evening when he became annoyed at a fly buzzing around him.
He picked up the electronic fly swat and took aim at it,as he was unaware of a gas cylinder leaking at his home in the village of Parcoul-Chenaud in Dordogne.
A reaction occurred between the swat and the gas,causing an explosion and part of his kitchen to blow up.
The blast also damaged part of the roof and the house is currently uninhabitable.
Somehow the man managed to escape the catastrophe with just a burn to his hand.
His family are repairing the house while he resides at a local campsite.
It's not known what happened to the fly.
