Wow that’s really weird because i thought ants were supposed to be everywhere - at least in summertime when you go outside. If they smell that bad then it must be unbearable just walking around places in the city.

I can only smell them if I sniff a crushed one up close. It’s been a long time - I don’t step on bugs on purpose.

I don’t think they’re talking about the dead/distressed ant smell. To the best of my knowledge, everyone can smell that. They’re talking about a general smell of ants

It could be the same smell, formic acid.

I can’t smell them, but I can hear them
