  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?

    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.
