Bug bombs don't just kill pests: People, pets also sickened by foggers
After his girlfriend's black Lab mix got fleas from a visiting pooch, Jim Avent set off eight bug bombs in various rooms of her sprawling house in Woodinville.
Dashing for the open sliding-glass door, Avent was partway across the kitchen when he was overcome by the fumes.
He fell to the ground and strained to drag himself to the threshold.
"I was hanging halfway in the house, halfway out of the house, gagging," Avent said. "I couldn't move. I couldn't sit up. I couldn't talk."
