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.

He didn't need a heat gun, a space heater, a hair dryer and all that stuff to set his house ablaze.
We've got gazillions of fire ants here in Florida.
All he had to do was ask.

Bedbugs great sensitivity is to heat. Adults die in 113F temperatures in 90 minutes, and 118F temperatures in 20 minutes, but eggs need 118F for 90 minutes. Usually this is done with space heaters and strong fans.
But bedbugs are also vulnerable to invisible UV-c light, which can penetrate many materials opaque to visible light.
So imagine the one-two punch of heat and light.
