So it seems they discovered an anti-dote to roaches, but not to bed-bugs.
Is there any hope? C'mon science, do your thing!

I put 6 propane gas blowers in an apartment, the kind that is used at construction sites. Let that run with thermostats and cameras for a few hours. Bedbug free. Have since done it at 2 other apartments after months of infestations, immediately fixed.

Achieving that temperature in a home would be nearly impossible unless you live in very hot summer area and likely cause substantial damage to a lot of things.
Infrared saunas are 120-140f.

A car reaches 120f on a 70f day in the sun in 90 minutes so I don't think that temperature would damage that many things.

This company selling electric bed bug heaters says 7 minutes at 115f.
