What's included
What Our Tent Fumigation Service Includes
Every tent fumigation we run in Pembroke Pines includes the full cycle from inspection through clearance documentation. Here is what is covered in a standard job, and where add-on work like wood replacement or moisture repairs would be quoted separately.
Full Structural Inspection
We inspect the attic, roof trusses, wall cavities, and accessible framing with a termite inspection flashlight, sounding tool, borescope inspection camera, and moisture meter. You get a written report of what we found and where the activity is concentrated.
Complete Tarp & Seal
The crew wraps the entire structure in gas-proof tarps and seals every vent, penetration, and slab gap. We use soil rodding and injection tools where needed to close off ground-level entry points before the fumigant is released.
Licensed Fumigation Cycle
A licensed FDACS fumigator runs the cycle, monitors gas concentration with calibrated sensors, and holds the exposure period for the full required duration. Nobody enters the structure until the readings confirm the cycle is complete.
Clearance Testing & Letter
We aerate the home, run clearance testing, and provide written re-entry documentation. That letter is what you hand to a buyer's agent after a WDO inspection, or keep in your file for the next time you sell or refinance.
Prep Checklist & Support
You get a termite tenting preparation checklist Pembroke Pines homeowners can follow step by step, plus phone support while you bag food, move pets, and pull plants back from the foundation. We answer questions right up to tarp-up day.
Service overview
What Tent Fumigation Pembroke Pines FL Actually Does
Tent Fumigation Pembroke Pines FL is a whole-structure treatment that seals your home under a gas-proof tarp and fills it with a measured concentration of Vikane or sulfuryl fluoride. Every drywood termite colony inside the walls, attic framing, and roof trusses is killed in a single cycle, including the ones a termite inspection flashlight and moisture meter never reach. We handle the tarp, the gas, the clearance testing, and the re-entry paperwork so you are not chasing a dozen small spot treatments that never get the whole colony.
Pembroke Pines homes built in the 1980s and 1990s have plenty of mature oak and pine framing that drywood termites love, and our humid summers keep them active year-round. If a WDO inspection for a real estate closing turned up live activity, or you have seen termite frass pellets piling up under a window sill, whole house fumigation Pembroke Pines is usually the cleanest fix. We also handle Formosan termites and subterranean termite infestations when they show up alongside drywood activity.
How we workWe verify the cause, compare realistic options, and confirm the repair before we leave.
The service timeline
How Our Tent Fumigation Process Runs
The process flexes to the condition, but these checkpoints keep decisions clear.
Inspection & Quote
We inspect the attic, roof trusses, and every accessible wall cavity with a termite inspection flashlight, sounding tool, and Termatrac T3i detection device. You get a written scope and a firm price, usually the same day you call. No surprise add-ons after the tent is up.
Prep Checklist
We hand you a termite tenting preparation checklist Pembroke Pines homeowners can actually follow. Bag and remove food, medications, and pet supplies. Pull plants back from the foundation. We walk the property with you so nothing gets missed before the crew arrives.
Tarp & Seal
The crew wraps the entire structure in gas-proof tarps and seals every penetration, vent, and slab gap. This is the step that makes whole house fumigation Pembroke Pines work. If the seal leaks, the gas escapes and the colony survives, so we double-check every seam before we release.
Fumigation Cycle
We introduce the fumigant and hold the concentration at the target level for the full exposure period, monitoring with calibrated gas sensors the entire time. A licensed FDACS fumigator stays on site. Nobody enters the structure until the cycle is complete and the readings hold.
Clearance & Re-Entry
We aerate the home, run clearance testing, and hand you the re-entry documentation. You get the all-clear to move back in, plus a written record of the treatment for your files or your real estate closing. We also flag any wood rot or moisture issues we found while the house was open.
Tools & methods
Tools and Methods We Use on Every Job
Purpose-built equipment, used by trained technicians, so the job is done accurately the first time.
Termatrac T3i termite detection device
Detects termite movement inside walls without opening them up. We use it to confirm live activity before quoting a tent and to verify nothing was missed after treatment.
Borescope inspection camera
Lets us look inside wall cavities and roof trusses through a small access hole. It is how we confirm drywood colonies in spots a flashlight cannot reach.
Thermal imaging camera
Finds moisture pockets and temperature differences that point to termite activity or wood rot. Moisture and wood rot attract termites, so this helps us catch the cause, not just the symptom.
Moisture meter and sounding/tapping tool
The sounding tool tells us which studs are hollow. The moisture meter tells us where the wood is wet. Together they map the damage before we tent.
Soil rodding and injection tool
Used to treat soil around the foundation when subterranean termites are also present. We rod and inject termiticide to build a continuous barrier.
Termiticide sprayer and wand
Applies liquid termiticide concentrate to foundation walls, slab penetrations, and trench areas. We use it for the soil treatment that backs up a tent fumigation.
Use cases
When Tent Fumigation Is the Right Call
These examples show how the service framework adapts rather than forcing every call through one repair.
Closing Saved on a Silver Lakes Sale
A Silver Lakes home was under contract when the buyer's WDO inspection flagged live drywood termites in the attic trusses. The closing was two weeks out and the buyer's agent was ready to walk. The seller needed a fast, documented fix. → We inspected the next morning, quoted the tent fumigation on site, and tented the house that week. The clearance letter went to the buyer's agent within 72 hours of tarp-up. The sale closed on schedule.
Full-Home Tenting in Pembroke Falls
A Pembroke Falls family found swarmers around their kitchen windows in spring and later discovered frass in a hallway closet. The home had never been treated. A thermal imaging scan also showed a moisture pocket near a bathroom wall. → We tented the 2,800-square-foot home, ran the cycle, and cleared it in 72 hours. The moisture pocket was traced to a slow supply line leak, which we flagged for repair. No live termites were found at the clearance test.
Problems we solve
Termite Problems We Solve Before They Get Worse
Drywood termites do not stop eating because you have not decided on a treatment. Here are the problems we see most often in Pembroke Pines homes and how we shut them down.
Frass pellets piling up under windows and door frames
We confirm the species with a borescope inspection camera, map the extent of the activity, and tent the home. One fumigation cycle kills every colony inside the structure, not just the one leaving the pellets.
Hollow-sounding wood and bubbling paint on interior walls
We sound the walls with a tapping tool, verify with a Termatrac T3i detection device, and tent the house to stop the colony. Any wood that needs replacing gets flagged in the inspection report so you can get it repaired after clearance.
Failed WDO inspection during a real estate closing
We inspect fast, quote the tent fumigation the same day, and schedule the job within the week when the calendar allows. The clearance letter we provide is what the buyer's agent needs to keep the deal moving.
Swarmers around windows and lights every spring
We treat the active colony with a full tent fumigation and check the rest of the property for secondary activity. If subterranean or Formosan termites are also present, we add a soil treatment with Termidor or Taurus SC to close off the ground-level threat.
Pricing process
Tent Fumigation Cost in Pembroke Pines
$1,200 - $3,800 depending on square footage, roof style, and add-ons
Square footage
The bigger the structure, the more tarp, the more fumigant, and the longer the cycle. A 1,400-square-foot ranch prices at the low end. A 3,000-square-foot two-story sits at the top of the range.
Roof style and pitch
Tile roofs and steep pitches take longer to tarp and seal than a simple shingle gable. Labor time goes up, and so does the price. We measure the roof during the inspection so the quote reflects the real work.
Attached structures
Attached garages, screened lanais, and carports need to be tented along with the house. Each attached space adds tarp, seal time, and fumigant volume to the job.
How much does tent fumigation cost in Pembroke Pines FL?
Most Pembroke Pines homes run $1,200 to $3,800 for a full tent fumigation, with the average single-family house landing around $1,800 to $2,400. Square footage, roof style, and how many attached structures need tenting move the number most. A 1,400-square-foot ranch with a simple gable roof sits at the low end. A 3,000-square-foot two-story with a tile roof and attached garage sits at the top.
How long does tent fumigation take?
Plan on 24 to 72 hours from tarp-up to re-entry clearance. A typical Pembroke Pines single-family home takes about 48 hours total. The fumigation cycle itself runs several hours, then aeration and clearance testing take another day. Larger homes, two-story layouts, and attached garages add time. We give you a specific window before we start so you can plan where you are staying.
Is tent fumigation safe for my family and pets?
Yes, once the clearance test passes. The fumigant is a gas that leaves no residue on surfaces, and we do not clear the home for re-entry until calibrated readings confirm it is safe. You, your family, and your pets stay out during the cycle and aeration. Fish tanks and indoor plants need to be removed or sealed before we tent, and we cover that in your prep checklist.
Do I need to bag food before fumigation?
Yes. Bag or remove all food, medications, pet food, and anything you ingest or apply to your body. Double-bag items in nylon or plastic bags, or move them off-site. The gas does not leave a residue, but the standard practice is to seal or remove consumables so nothing is exposed during the cycle. We give you a room-by-room checklist so you are not guessing.

Termite Inspection
Every tent job starts with a full inspection. We check the attic, crawlspace, and wall cavities with a termite inspection flashlight, sounding tool, and moisture meter to confirm drywood activity and rule out subterranean termites before we quote a fumigation.
Termite Treatment
Not every home needs a tent. If the infestation is localized or subterranean, we use Termidor, Taurus SC, or Sentricon bait stations to knock down the colony. We tell you honestly which treatment your Pembroke Pines home actually needs.
Pre-Construction Termite Control
Building new in Pembroke Pines? We treat the soil and slab before the pour with a liquid termiticide barrier that meets Florida Building Code termite protection requirements. It is far cheaper than treating an active infestation later.Ready when you are
