Most people have had ants in their kitchen at some point in their lives. In just one acre of land there can be upwards 40 million ants within multiple colonies. The most common ant found in homes is the Odorous Ant, given this name due to the rotten coconut smell they produce when crushed. They are commonly called “sugar ants” because they are attracted to sweet and sugary substances, but will also eat grease and protein-based substances depending on the colony needs. When an ant finds a food source they let other ants in their colony know by leaving an invisible pheromone trail, which the other ants will start to follow.
