Land O' Lakes homeowners call most about white-footed ants indoors and mosquitoes in the yard. White-footed ants have been collected in Pasco County, nest in palms, mulch and attics, and only respond reliably to baits. For mosquitoes, Hillsborough's advice works here too: empty and scrub water-holding containers at least twice a week. We treat the shrubs where adults rest.
Local conditions
White-footed ants and wet yards in Land O' Lakes
Land O' Lakes counted 35,929 residents in the 2020 census. White-footed ants are one of the indoor ants we look for first in this part of Pasco County, and the species has been collected in Pasco, Hillsborough and Pinellas. Colonies nest in trees, palm fronds, mulch, wall voids and attics, and they range from about 8,000 to 3 million ants. Foragers follow electrical cables indoors to kitchens and bathrooms. They do not sting, and baits are the only proven control, so we place bait on the trails and around the palms and beds outside rather than spraying what you can see.
Mosquitoes are the other big call. The species behind dengue in this region, Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus, are the ones Hillsborough's mosquito program names as the local carriers, and they breed in containers rather than open lakes. Buckets, pet dishes, plant saucers, tires and toys all hold enough water. Pasco had 2 locally reported dengue cases as of Sept. 18, 2026, far fewer than its neighbor, but the same container habits help. We treat the shady shrubs where adults rest and walk the yard with you to find the water.

Land O' Lakes ant and mosquito questions
What people in Land O' Lakes ask us on the phone.
Ask us on the phoneWhite-footed ants use electrical cables as highways into kitchens and bathrooms. We bait the trail and the outdoor nests together.
The dengue carriers, Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus, breed in small containers. Buckets, pet dishes and plant saucers on your property matter more than the lake.
Hillsborough's guidance is to empty and scrub containers at least twice a week, because Aedes eggs survive above the waterline.
Not for long. Colonies can reach millions of ants, and baits are the only proven control.
Yes. We cover the screen frames, pool deck edges and the shrubs outside the cage in the same visit.
