I can only smell them if there's a number of them, but 'cleaning solution' like one said works for the scent. I also have the 'cilantro tastes like soap' gene, so maybe they're connected.

Ants have a scent?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

I can smell ants, but I dont think they smell that bad. The smell is hardly ever strong enough to be unpleasant. Also, in the region of the world I live in, if you start smelling ants but don't see them anywhere, it means it's gonna rain.

Sometimes ants can't smell ants either and you get supercolonies

Yeah they have this acidic odor to them.

They're anteaters.
