Odorous House Ants

 Odorous house ants are tiny ants that can give off a strong, “musty” smell when crushed. They often invade homes looking for sweets and moisture, especially around sinks, bathrooms, and basements. They travel in obvious trails and may nest near wall voids, under floors, or outside near damp areas. Cleaning can break scent trails, but the colony usually remains active. If they return again and again, professional ant control is the best next step.
