Is this the correct way to say "They must not be at home." in Spanish? "No deben de estar en casa."

Yes, you can say "No deben estar en casa" or "Probablemente no esten en casa"

Gracias. Re the subjunctive construction. To be grammatically correct - does it need to be "Probablemente es que no estén in casa." - Otravez, Apr 13, 2011

I assume you're using "must" as a modal, right? If so, the translation would be the one proposed by MarimarMty.
If you could provide context, translation will be more accurate!
