Well it is either the house that is odorous or the ant. I suspect it is the ant.
its a house ant and is odorous
The odorous house ant gets its name from the strong, distinctive smell it emits when crushed. This scent is often described as a "rotten coconut" odor, hence the name "odorous" house ant. The smell is believed to be a defense mechanism to ward off predators.
Between the carpenter ant, fire ant, and odorous house ant, the carpenter ant lives the longest. Carpenter ants can live up to 7 years.
