Bed bugs are a serious concern for homeowners and short-term rental owners in Rockport and the Coastal Bend. These tiny pests can hide in carpets, upholstery, mattresses, and furniture, causing discomfort for residents and guests alike. Preventing infestations requires vigilance, deep cleaning, and professional-grade equipment.


Why Bed Bugs Are a Concern

Bed bugs can multiply quickly and are notoriously difficult to eliminate with standard cleaning methods. They hide in carpets, furniture, and bedding, and even a few overlooked areas can lead to a full-blown infestation. In a short-term rental, this can result in negative reviews, guest complaints, and costly treatments.


Our Solution: HEPA Filtration and Professional Cleaning

At Ship Shape, we use HEPA-filtered vacuum systems for all carpets, rugs, and upholstery. HEPA filtration traps even the smallest particles, including dust, allergens, and bed bug eggs, preventing them from spreading during cleaning. Combined with our commercial-grade steam cleaning and CRB equipment, we provide a deep, thorough clean that helps prevent bed bug infestations and keeps your home or rental safe for guests.


Tips for Preventing Bed Bugs:

  • Regularly inspect mattresses, box springs, and upholstered furniture.

  • Wash bedding and linens in hot water and dry on high heat.

  • Vacuum carpets, rugs, and upholstered furniture with HEPA-filtered equipment.

  • Schedule periodic professional cleaning to ensure hard-to-reach areas are sanitized.
