You may need a new mattress. I know geckos will get rid of bugs, but you most likely do not want a lizard running around your house free-range.

I’ve read in several different places that this is a job for the professionals. They can be very hard to get rid of and the sooner you get the pros on the job the less of a pain it will be.
if you live in a apartment complex it will be extremely hard to get rid of them. you will need to buy a new mattress and have a professional come out and do the extermination. also contact the manager and tell them you will cut the lease short and move out if they don’t fix the problem. its most likely the unit above or next to you that has the real infestation. you could treat your place thousands of times and they will come back if they do nothing up stairs
That bug might have been from an egg that hatched. Treatment usually has to be done 2 times. Putting a mattress cover on your mattress and covers on the pillows will help. They have to stay on for a year because the bugs can go a year without eating. You can find them in places like Target. Rubbing alcohol will kill the bugs on things that it can be used on. If you are in an apartment you will need to find something to put along your base boards. It would be best to go to a hardware store or a place like Lowes and see what they have. The beds can come out of the walls from other places. There has been a huge come back of bed bugs, so the stores will have something for them. Cidarcide is used by hotels for bed bugs. You can bug cidercide in bags from places like Wal Mart and Lowes. It is good for putting around the house. Vacuuming a lot will help.
