House fires have always been one of my biggest fears. Although I’ve never experienced one personally, I constantly triple-check the stove, candles, and dryer vent for lint. However, a recent Facebook post by Kentucky resident Jason Whitaker revealed a fire hazard I never considered.
Jason shared that he kept smelling something like an electrical fire and almost tore his house apart trying to find the source. Eventually, he discovered that the smell was coming from a fluorescent spiral light bulb. Inside the bulb’s spiral coils were ladybugs, attracted to the light and heat, accumulating to a point where they nearly ignited.
“Inside the spiral coils of the light bulb was nothing but ladybugs,” Jason explained. His photos showed the potential danger, with the accumulation of ladybugs coming close to igniting due to the bulb’s heat.
If you use fluorescent spiral light bulbs in your light fixtures or lamps, be sure to check them regularly for critters trying to get warm inside. Jason’s experience highlights a simple check that could prevent a house fire.
“I found it important to share Jason’s post with you all,” he added, “as this is a potential fire hazard I would have never known about.”
Regular inspection of these light bulbs can help you avoid a dangerous situation and keep your home safe from unexpected fire hazards.
Саn yоu find thе Iаrgе dоg hiding in this kitсhеn?
There’s something fascinating about the way optical illusions and other mind-bending images almost distort your brain.
There are hundreds of such pictures on the internet and in old books — but this one comes from real life.
There’s an “invisible” being in this picture, but it’s not a sneaky intruder or burglar…
Rather, it’s a dog that everybody’s looking for.
Even people who are good at figuring out optical illusions are confused by this tricky photo…
Can you see the big dog hiding right in front of your nose? Take a look at the picture below!
(Don’t worry if you can’t find it right away. We’ll walk you through the process until you get it…)
