I love this video, it's a really cool example of microwave synthesis! If the formic acid would evaporate during the process, I suggest trying to heat it in ethylene glycol under reflux, but it will take more time. I've seen some process for making diaminofurazan by heating the reagents in ethylene glycol for hours. That substance was usually made by dehydration reaction in a hydrothermal reactor.

Large plastoc container and some bellowed HVAC tubing attached to a blower could have just blown it all outside like a fume hood and saved you from having to burn your house down to get rid of the smell You can also try ozone to get rid of it. Its probably not great for central AC, but get an Ozone generator with a pump and stick the tube into your AC return on a 40 minute timer and let the AC pump it into the whole house. Make sure you and your pets are not exposed to it
