Odorous House Ants
Tapinoma sessile
The odorous house ant when stopped on or crushed releases a strong odor that some have described as a rotten coconut-like smell; this is similar to the ghost ant. This ant is also called the stink ant and sugar ant because of their attraction to sugary sweets. They are not dangerous but will contaminate food; they are considered a nuisance.
