Tent vs. No-Tent Termite Treatment
Spot treatments and heat only reach what a technician can find. Drywood termites hide in colonies you'll never see. Here's an honest comparison of your options — and why whole-structure tent fumigation is the only treatment that reaches every one.

Why Tenting Beats Spot & Heat
Every termite company will offer you a treatment. The real question is whether it reaches every colony—or just the ones someone happened to find. Drywood termites don't stay in one place. They nest in separate, hidden galleries throughout your rafters, studs, trim, and furniture.
No-tent options—localized spot injections, foams, and heat—are limited to the areas a technician can access and verify. Whole-structure tent fumigation seals the entire building and saturates every cubic foot with fumigant, so it penetrates all the wood at once. That's the difference between hoping you got them all and knowing you did.
Tenting reaches every hidden colony—no-tent methods only treat what's found.
Tent fumigation vs. no-tent, step by step
Tenting treats 100% of the structure. Spot and heat only cover the specific areas a technician can locate and reach.
Fumigant gas fills every gallery and void. No-tent methods routinely miss colonies buried in framing you can't inspect.
We aerate and run clearance testing on the whole building. Heat coverage is hard to confirm in dense Florida construction.
Because we treat the entire structure, we back it with a guarantee—something a limited spot treatment can't match.
No Mystery. Just Honest Fumigation Pricing.
Most companies dodge the price question. We won't. Here's what real tent fumigations actually cost in Central Florida — up front, before you ever pick up the phone.

Don't just take our word for it. Here's what our customers have to say about their experience with Tent Fumigation Specialist.
"Yep! Randy is your guy! Don't even bother calling any other company. He's the owner and he answers the phone so you're talking to the expert right from the get go. His prices were better than anyone else I called, and he responded to me quicker than anyone else too! The process was very easy and communication was great. I met his crew and they were such a nice group of guys. Contract was signed online and invoice was sent and paid online which made for a seamless experience. He offers a year guarantee after fumigation. I am extremely happy with this company and you will be too!"
"I'd called other 'big name' providers. One didn't call back, one made it clear my job wasn't big enough, and one quoted a high price. You responded quickly, quoted a price on the phone subject to verifying my measurements. Service was provided on the day promised. You operate your business the way I wish all businesses operated."
"There is no more trustworthy, experienced, and professional a company than TFS. Randy tented our first home while it was under contract, and has since answered all of our rookie homeowner termite questions. It is a mark of an honest business owner that he is forthcoming with all of the information you may not have gotten from other pest companies, and will recommend against his own service if he doesn't think it's necessary. I can't recommend TFS highly enough."
"Randy was not only very knowledgeable, he took the time to explain things to my wife and myself. He also was super easy to get ahold of and gave us a fantastic price on our tenting. I would recommend anyone who's second guessing themselves like we did to go through this company!"
"I reached out to Tent Fumigation Specialists after one of the big corporate companies tried to reschedule on me for the second time after taking my money. Randy is a lifesaver! He was able to get someone to come the same weekend I had already planned for, gave me much more information than I'd been provided previously, AND his price was better! Highly recommend to anyone in Orlando looking for quality work at a great price."
"I called about 7:30 p.m. and expected to leave a message. Much to my surprise, Randy answered the phone and discussed my property needs with me. After giving him the dimensions of our home, he quoted us a price that was almost half of the other quotes we had received. Randy and his team completed work within the week, certified and guaranteed their work. I am a happy camper and will recommend Randy and his company to anyone who needs fumigation services."
"Great company to work with! Randy was very thorough with explaining the process and answered all my questions. Would highly recommend this company for your fumigation needs. Best price after much research on my part."
"No one wants to tent their house. But it was necessary, and Tent Fumigation Specialists made the process so easy. Of the many companies we contacted, Randy got back to us the fastest with a quote, and answered any questions. He was very clear about the timeline of things. Even called as soon as the house was ready for us to go back to. Overall, very pleasant experience for an unpleasant issue."
"Tent Fumigation Specialists provides prompt and professional service, always exceeding our expectations for the commercial services we are relying on them to get done. I would recommend them to anyone in the Orlando area."
"Randy at Tent Fumigation Specialists was great. He is easy to reach, responsive and has very good follow through. The tenting guys were careful and thorough. They made it as good of an experience as it could be. I highly recommend them."
