This sounds like something I would have done as a kid except I would have been 12 or so and it would have been ants.

Teen sets house on fire instead of spiders

Quote:
Fire investigators have come up with an unusual cause of a blaze that damaged a home in Reno - spider killing. Reno Fire Battalion Chief Rick Kajans said a teenager was using fire to try to kill spiders Sunday afternoon when he accidentally set a fence on fire that then also burned part of his home on Neil Road.The fire burned through a wall and damaged a kitchen ceiling before firefighters put it out. Kajans said he doubts the 17-year-old boy will be charged with any crime because the fire is being ruled accidental.

My son loves to fry ants with his magnifying glass. I'll have to show him this.
