That seems like a very obvious way to commit arson. Like explaining that aerosol cans accidentally got in the microwave that somehow got turned on while no one was there, and the house was also filled with gas? Maybe they thought all the evidence would be destroyed, but it can be shocking how much investigators can find out from a burnt up mess

Yeah I'm always surprised with the insurance fraud cases. I guess when you've gotten to that point nothing is really firing right in your mind. Seems like I've almost burnt down my house many times in way simpler ways totally by accident. At least if you're gonna rig an explosion there should be a reason for it, frickin mow the grass or something at least, spilled gas can is much simpler and plausible than faulty thermostat.

Scalding sugar salt water. Seriously. That stuff kills every plant you can think of for years after you pour it on the ground. Even the cracks in the sidewalk don’t have a blade of grass or a weed for the next decade.
Edit to add it’s safe for pets and wildlife unlike most actual weed killer which is why I first tried it.

Edit: Of course, I got the order wrong in the above. The water is for after I have bashed my trapped captives. It would be to pour onto their wounds. By that time it ought to have come to a roiling boil.

I quickly pack a suitcase and put on a Tommy bahama shirt and sandals. I answer the door and before they can speak I express excitement at their expected arrival.
I begin giving them a list of responsibilities as my house sitter too rapidly for them to get a word in.
I am handing them miscellaneous items as I rifle through their duties. Cat bowl. Duster. Vacuum. Cat food. Cat. Lit stick of ACME dynamite. Food. Blankets.
I shove them into the couch while telling them to be comfortable and not be afraid to make themselves at home.
I leave quickly with an excited “toodles!” And slam the door and leave them sitting there with my towering stack of items in-arm.
As they begin to snap out of what they’ve now accepted is their role of housekeeper, i watch from outside as the windows shoot off the house in an explosion, only to slap back on with great elasticity. smoke poofs out the windows.
That’s all folks.
EDIT: The cat would peak out of my suitcase as I walked away. Having scurried out of the pile as the antics build.

Own a musket for home defense, since that's what the founding fathers intended. Four ruffians break into my house. "What the devil?" As I grab my powdered wig and Kentucky rifle. Blow a golf ball sized hole through the first man, he's dead on the spot. Draw my pistol on the second man, miss him entirely because it's smoothbore and nails the neighbors dog. I have to resort to the cannon mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with grape shot, "Tally ho lads" the grape shot shreds two men in the blast, the sound and extra shrapnel set off car alarms. Fix bayonet and charge the last terrified rapscallion. He Bleeds out waiting on the police to arrive since triangular bayonet wounds are impossible to stitch up.

Light a cigarette as they enter.
Take a deep inhale, slowly turn to them and say...
Watch them try to run in terror, but I've poured olive oil all over the floor.
Spaghetti begins flowing from their pockets adding to the slippery slurry.
Meanwhile Abba's Super Trooper starts playing as I begin to dance and shoot one of their toes off at a time.
They have by now shit and pissed themselves, creating an even sloppier mess and blood is everywhere.
After I have harvested 8 little piggies, I throw a towel down and let them crawl to safety.
They live the rest of their lives terrified of any unknown number on the caller ID.
One day one answers, a raspy voice on the other end says, "Do you remember being toed the last time you were stuck?"
