Don' forget , Ants and many other creatures have pinchers and they can hurt and surprise you into dropping them which is exactly as planned. Our nemise which will show shortly is the brown recluse spider! Hides inside and warm most of the winter, as it warms(babies) they become aggressive. They LOVE cornorsand stair treads. Stored picnic tables etc. My grown son(1-5) attracts them, he now has enough vemon they no longer are a major problem but still a nasty month longer Blister and healing with resulting scar. Younger brother also has problem( the spider also loves mail boxes but they leave Once the sun makes the boxes into ovens. All this is to warn,wear gloves when cleaning,especially creacks. Friend lost a finger to a recluse bite while cleaning the parsonage windows.

I found out they do have a musky odor---same way Jeannie found out she can get stung. Phew what a STINK They seem to travel in pairs because if I see one there is another one not too far away They like to crawl up inside the pull-chain on my kitchen overhead light. Jeannie I had the same experience as you when I killed what looked like an ant --Black and shiny, crawling up the living room window I caught it with my left hand and squeezed...got stung. my husband said it was some kind of wasp. he put it under our kids microscope. what I thought was the feeler was the stinger.
