What Actually Drives the Price
- Cubic volume. Fumigant is dosed by volume. A 1,800 sq ft home with vaulted ceilings can cost more than a 2,200 sq ft ranch.
- Roof type and pitch. Steep or fragile roofs (tile, metal) take more crew time to tent safely.
- Attached structures. Garages, lanais, pool cages and additions inside the tent add volume.
- Prep condition. Heavy vegetation against walls, stored items and clutter add labor.
- The guarantee. A quote with a 1-year retreatment guarantee and renewal options is worth more than a bare treatment.
Costs People Forget to Budget
Two to three nights of lodging, pet boarding, restocking any unbagged food, and in some cases a gas shutoff and relight fee. Our coordinators flag all of these before you sign, so the written quote is the real total.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the average cost of tent fumigation in Florida?
Aggregated Florida pricing data puts the statewide median tent fumigation near $2,200, with the middle half of jobs between about $1,600 and $3,000. TFS's typical single-family job in Central Florida runs about $2,500 to $2,800. Price is driven mainly by the structure's cubic volume.
Why do quotes for the same house vary so much?

Does insurance cover tent fumigation?
Homeowners insurance in Florida generally does not cover pest treatment or termite damage, because both are considered maintenance. Check your policy, but plan on treatment being out of pocket.
