He was on the right path but went about it in a dangerous way. There are professional companies that will come out and heat up a room or the whole house safely to 120+ degrees for about an hour or so which kills them and pretty much most any other bugs.

sounds like the crabs trick....

shave off half your pubic hair and set the remaining half on fire. As the lice flee the fire, stab them with an ice-pick.

I’ve come to the conclusion that liberals are related to bedbugs. That’s why they’re protecting the little bloodsuckers with the DDT ban.

No, you are supposed to get rubbing alcohol and sand and saturate your crotch with each. The lice will get drunk and kill themselves off throwing rocks.
