Me thinks you want new carpet and are using this as an excuse. I have lived in several places that have had swarmers. While it is freaky when it happens...you vacuum them up and that's that...they don't usually come back until next mating season if at all. You did not even mention the bathroom initially. You implied they were all around the bed/furniture. It would be fairly easy to spot treat in the area where the inspector felt they came out. But still, no need for new carpet. He is not mandated to do so. Please know that. It is his "home" that you are renting. He is not obligated to replace the carpet at all during your tenancy unless it becomes a hazard. Getting at least three or more estimates is good business.
