The new construction termite treatment is no longer applied to the soil, but rather to the lower36" of framing. The former soil treatment was found to release radon into the homes. Go ahead and replace the soil, but be prepared to pay a premium for good topsoil, because there isn't much in Florida. There is also some prohibitions against moving soil from county to county in some parts of Florida.
