Last few days I keep smelling formic acid everywhere. There’s nothing around here that should smell like formic acid.
Naturally I googled this phenomenon.

You could have ants in the walls or suchlike.

Ha! Or perhaps you crushed some pissants.
A couple of weeks ago, for a few days, I could smell acetic acid everywhere (inside particularly). Never got to the bottom of it. Perhaps a neighbour had poured cleaning vinegar into a drain, and the fumes were leaking out into my house.

I can smell koala up near the back fence again today. Can’t see one though.

There is an ant known as ‘Odorous ant’.
They do smell particularly strongly of formic acid.
They live in houses and under footpaths. Since this is a man made habitat.
