We recently had our home tent fumigated for drywood termites, and we were very pleased with the service. The entire team was professional throughout the process. A special thank you to Katherine for always responding to our questions and keeping us updated along the way. Rafael, the inspector, was outstanding. He was patient, knowledgeable, answered all of our questions, and made us feel comfortable every step of the process. The tent fumigation was completed successfully, and after the clearance inspection, we were able to return home with peace of mind. Thank you to Katherine, Rafael, and the entire team for your hard work and professionalism. Highly recommended!

Very professional staff, they fumigated our Condominium complex, 73 units over 3 buildings on the timetable that was agreed on. I was very impressed with their security procedures to ensure that no one entered the premises during the fumigation process. I would highly recommend Time’s Up. Joseph Piazza

Time’s Up Fumigation tented our home for termites and made the entire process smooth and as stress-free as possible. From the start, they set up a WhatsApp group chat to keep us informed every step of the way, which we really appreciated. They sent pictures and videos with updates, so we always knew exactly what was happening. Katherine and the rest of the team were extremely professional, kind, and patient. They answered all of our questions thoroughly and made sure we felt comfortable and informed at every stage. It’s not easy to deal with something like termite fumigation, but they truly made it a positive experience. Thank you for keeping our homes safe! I highly recommend this company!

My service was very professional and timely. They took the time to explain to me why I was having the roach and ant issue and how they were going to go about fixing it. Not only did they spray the inside of my home, but they also left bait and sprayed the outside of my home. I am so pleased with the results and I definitely recommend!!!

Treating the soil before you build is the only way to protect the entire structure

Subterranean termites are the most common cause of structural damage in Florida homes. Once the slab is poured and construction moves forward, treating the soil beneath the home is no longer possible — any treatment applied afterward can only target the perimeter, not the actual entry point.

That’s why pre-construction treatment is applied directly to the soil before the slab is poured: it creates a continuous barrier under the entire footprint of the home, at the one point in the build when full access is still possible.

Our 3-Step Tentless Termite Treatment Process

Site Inspection & Soil Assessment

We evaluate the lot, soil type and construction plans to map the termiticide barrier your home's exact footprint needs.

Pre-Slab Termiticide Application

We apply the EPA-approved treatment directly to the soil, before the slab is poured — the only point in the build with full access to the area being protected.

Documentation & Certification

We hand over the written contract and treatment certificate Florida law requires — the document your inspector and builder will ask for.

In high termite-activity areas, we may recommend a second application after the foundation is poured and before framing begins.

We can also treat foundation soil for room additions on an existing structure — not just new builds. Soil treatment targets subterranean termites; if your concern is drywood termites in the structure above ground, that’s handled by tent or tentless fumigation — see our tentless treatment option.

Tentless VS Traditional Fumigation

Traditional tent fumigation works — but it’s not always necessary. Tentless treatment is a targeted, modern alternative that eliminates
termite colonies without the chaos of a full fumigation.

Cost Considerations for Pre-Construction Termite Treatment

Actual cost depends on the size of the home, soil type and site conditions. Request your exact estimate — it’s free, with no obligation.

This is different from treating an existing home, which typically runs $500–$1,500 (up to $2,000+ for severe cases) since it only covers the perimeter. Pre-construction treatment costs more because it treats the entire foundation footprint before the slab goes down — full access you only get once.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions About Tentless Termite Treatment in Miami

Requirements vary by municipality and construction type, and must always be formalized with a written contract as required by Florida law. We confirm the exact requirement for your jurisdiction before we start.

For most infestations — especially drywood and early-stage subterranean termites — yes. Tentless treatment delivers a targeted, highly effective result. In cases of severe or widespread infestation, we’ll recommend the best option after the inspection. We’ll never upsell you a tent if tentless can solve the problem.

The typical range is $1,500 to $3,000 for a standard-sized home, including application, follow-up inspections and warranty. Final pricing depends on home size and site conditions.

Before the slab is poured. It’s the only point in the build when the soil under the entire footprint of the home can be treated with full access.

Yes — every treatment includes a written warranty, as required by Florida law, and it’s transferable to the next owner if the property is sold.

Your written warranty covers this scenario. Contact us and we’ll schedule a follow-up inspection at no extra cost, within the terms of your contract.

Liquid termiticide barriers typically protect for up to five years. We’ll recommend a re-treatment or monitoring schedule based on soil type and local termite activity in your area.

Usually one pre-slab application is enough. In areas with high termite activity, we may recommend an additional treatment after the foundation is poured and before framing begins — we’ll flag this during the site inspection, not after the fact.

No. Soil treatment creates a barrier against subterranean termites, the species responsible for most structural damage in Florida homes. Drywood termites live inside above-ground wood and require a different approach — tent or tentless fumigation — once the home is built.

Mud tubes along the foundation, hollow-sounding wood, discarded wings near entry points, and swarms of winged termites in spring are the earliest signs. Your treatment warranty covers a follow-up inspection if you spot any of these.

DIY products exist, but incorrect application can leave gaps in the barrier that go unnoticed until there’s already damage. For pre-construction treatment specifically, most lenders and insurers require documentation from a licensed professional — a DIY application won’t satisfy that requirement.
