Florida Tenting Costs Depend on More Than Square Footage
A practical guide for homeowners
Florida leads the nation in termite activity, and fumigation remains the most comprehensive solution for severe drywood infestations. The cost to tent a house in Florida can vary widely, even among homes of similar size. Rooflines, attached structures, access, and local permit requirements can all influence the final price.
We provide inspection-based estimates because accurate pricing requires a professional evaluation of the structure. This guide explains the factors that increase or decrease cost and helps you budget for both direct and indirect expenses.

Florida Cost Drivers for Termite Tenting
Why pricing varies by property
These are the most common factors that affect fumigation cost across Florida.
- Total square footage and roof volume
- Number of rooflines and complex architectural features
- Attached garages, lanais, and patio enclosures
- Accessibility for tenting crews and sealing
- Infestation severity and required exposure time
- Local permit or HOA requirements
Roof complexity and structure size are major cost drivers in Florida fumigation.
Indirect Costs to Plan For
The hidden expenses beyond the quote
Most Florida homeowners spend more than the treatment quote due to temporary relocation and preparation.
- Hotel or short-term rental stays for 2 to 3 nights
- Pet boarding or in-home care
- Food and medication handling
- Time off work for evacuation and return
- Transporting plants or sensitive items
We help you estimate these costs and plan a realistic budget so there are no surprises.
