the ants sense of smell is located in the antenae
It is a difficult to describe odor, Acrid and reminiscent of urine mixed with cleaning products. It's best described as the smell of crushed ants. That said, some people can't smell ants, this is why many people can't smell formic acid.

By smell, ants forage and stumble across it
Yes. Certain ants produce a substance called formic acid, the simplest of the organic acids. Since we usually encounter ants outdoors and not in great groups, this odor would likely go unnoticed. But in an enclosed situation, there is no doubt the odor would be quite noticable to humans since it is very noxious.
Not all ants sting, and not all ant stings have thesame venom, but one that is very common, and gives many ants their vinegary smell, is called formic acid. The name "formic acid" actually means "ant-type acid" because people first found it in some kinds of ants. It has a sharp smell like strong vinegar, but unlike vinegar it is quite poisonous.
Dogs have a great sense of smell and ants just don't mach up.
Ants have a far better sense of smell than humans do, and they can find things by smell even if they are out of sight.
