A California man may be the worst housesitter ever after he accidentally set his parents' house on fire while trying to kill some spiders with a blowtorch. The man told Fresno firefighters he'd found several black widow spiders inside the house and wanted to eradicate them with the blowtorch when the residence caught fire. He wasn't injured, but the second story and attic of the home were severely damaged. Hey, maybe those spiders will build his parents a web to live in!
