True or False: Ants are not as sensitive to odors as cockroaches, so using hands that have touched cigarettes does not affect baiting success.

The statement is false. Ants actually have a highly developed sense of smell, which they use to communicate, find food, and navigate their environment. Their sensitivity to odors can greatly influence their behavior and interactions with bait. If a person's hands have touched cigarettes, the residual odors can potentially deter ants from approaching the bait.

Cockroaches also have a strong sense of smell, but their behavior and responses to different odors can vary from those of ants. Ants being sensitive to odors means that any foreign odors like those from cigarettes can indeed affect baiting success. Therefore, maintaining a clean, scent-free environment when handling bait is essential for effective pest control.
