Odorous house ants (Tapinoma sessile) are tiny brown or black ants measuring one-sixteenth of an inch to one-eighth of an inch long. Other than their small size, they do not have any notable physical attributes that would help identify them from other types of ants. However, they do give off a rotten coconut-like smell when crushed.
Odorous house ants are not medically significant pests, although they may contaminate food. They do not pose a threat to homes, buildings, or property either.
If odorous house ants have infested your home, you’ll probably find them near sources of moisture, such as heaters, in wall voids near hot water pipes, and close to leaking fixtures. You might also find them foraging in the kitchen in search of food.
Outdoors, odorous house ants are often found in exposed soil, under stacks of firewood, and searching for honeydew. Heavy rains or ground that is too saturated may cause these pests to move indoors so if there are cracks in your foundation, space under your garage door, and other openings that they can easily access, your property could attract these nuisance ants.
