An odorous house ant is a common household pest that gets its name from the distinctive odor it emits when crushed. These ants are small in size, ranging from 2 to 3 millimeters in length, and are typically dark brown or black in color. They are known for forming large colonies that can contain thousands of individuals. Odorous house ants are opportunistic feeders, consuming a variety of food sources including sweets, meats, fruits, and insects. They are attracted to moisture and are often found near water sources or in damp areas of the home. While they do not cause structural damage, their presence can be a nuisance and their foraging activities can contaminate food. Effective ant control measures, including the elimination of food and water sources, sealing entry points, and targeted pesticide application, are often necessary to manage infestations of odorous house ants.
