As a tool-using species, killing them with something you won't care about the smell being on seems pretty trivial.

It releases the smell. It stays around in the room.

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.
