encapsulating the mattress is also good but that won't get rid of a place already infested.If it was clear who started it, then you could bill them with the rent, but you might have facilitated the spread by defering treatment and DIY treatment so you might no longer have any standing to bill that tenant for other units except maybe the treatment cost for that unit where it started originally. not sure...Good luck!
