I can't see it well enough to make it out. Can you get a better pic?

the pic isn't clear enough to be able to tell exactly what it is, but it looks like some sort
of beetle... I would have the house sprayed on the outside and around the doors inside
this might help keep them out or at least get a handle on them...

It looked like a pinch bug? Bring the pic or another bug to the local plant / garden place and ask them.

Does it look like it has pinchers at the backend? If so it's an earwig. (female if pinchers are straight)
If not it is likely a cockroach of some sort. One of the smaller varieties such as the German cockroach

I am sorry but I can not see it. You can start by bagging and flour/ ceral type of food as well as sugar. Put is in the freezer at least for a day. Clean out all your cupborad so they are empty and open. Get the bug bombs and set them off as reccommended. If the infestation is that bad I would over kill but I am like that. I personally would complain to management and have them set up a spraying schedule with you. After the bug bombs you will need to wipe everything down and vaccuum really well before you let your kids back in. Maybe they could spend the night at gramma's but check to be sure they are not taking any friends. That will take care of most bugs for anything else you will need an exterminator.

Are you in the south, particularly TX? If so they are a type of beetle. I've gotten them before. You'll have to throw out all open food sources in your pantry.

To answer some questions..

It's definitely not a roach
It's dark colored black/brown
Not in bedding, thank God! Not on any bed!
