Oldsmar homeowners call mostly about mosquitoes around the lanai and white-footed ants coming in from palms and mulch. White-footed ants have been collected in Pinellas County, and baits are the only proven control. For mosquitoes, we pair a shrub treatment with a walk around the patio for saucers, bowls and toys that hold water.
Local conditions
Lanais, palms and white-footed ants in Oldsmar
Oldsmar counted 14,898 residents in the 2020 census, the smallest of the Pinellas cities on our list. White-footed ants have been collected in Pinellas County, as well as Hillsborough and Pasco, and they nest in trees, palm fronds, mulch, wall voids and attics. Foragers follow electrical cables indoors into kitchens and bathrooms, and colonies run anywhere from 8,000 to 3 million ants. They do not sting, but they do not quit either, because spraying the trail misses the nest. Baits are the only proven control, so we place them along the trails and around the palms and beds.
Just over the county line, Hillsborough's Mosquito Management Services traps and tests mosquitoes, treats larvae with Bti and sprays adults from helicopters after sunset or before sunrise. It names Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus as the local dengue carriers, and both breed in small containers rather than open water. Pinellas recorded 7 local dengue cases as of Sept. 18, 2026. On an Oldsmar lanai, plant saucers, pet bowls, pool toys and clogged screen-frame gutters all hold enough water. We treat the shrubs outside the cage where adults rest and show you the spots to keep dry.
