    So I have a huge ant problem at my house right now. Tried the black pepper & dish soap (supposed to destroy their chemical trails) tricks but they're not working that well. We also have some of those sticky ant traps too.

    Pretty sure they are Odorous House Ants (Tapinoma sessile). Though I haven't tried this, "Workers of this species emit a rotten coconut-like odor from the anal glands, which can be smelled by crushing live individuals."
