      I can’t smell ants but I can smell roaches. Any house or restaurant I walk into that has that signature roach scent, I do a 180° and leave.

      As to describe the scent of roaches: Pungent, wet/moldy towel smell, worse when they’re dead.

        You know, I feel like I know that smell as well. Not anywhere NEAR as pungent as the ant smell, but I’ve been in some… Unfortunate situations with enough roaches that I can conjure up that smell.

        In my experience it’s way better, and that having a candle burning will usually clear up the scent of a crush in relatively short order.
