Now I need to know what I’m missing out on… I know the smell of formic acid, and can smell it if andts are really pissed off - but do they just smell?

It smells so weird and strong. I’m surprised not everyone can smell this. I wonder how common this is?

I usually only smell it after they are agitated. I assume that’s what they meant? But usually when I’m smelling ants they are agitated.

Can you smell other insects or is it just ants? Any type of ant?

Most insects don’t have a strong odor. It’s all types of ants as far as I’ve noticed.

I’m not exactly sure. My sense of smell has been shot since I got covid. It feels so weird. Some smells don’t exist, some are much stronger, some remained the same.
One good example is burning anything while cooking.
I can just feel it though. If I’m itchy while in my kitchen, 9/10 it’s ants (ground floor old apartment)
