Can paint scent kill my ants?

I’ve done making my formicarium but i can smell a chemical scent. At first i thought it was the silicon but i found out that my silicon is nontoxic so it should be the paint. My paint already dry btw.

My question is:
1. Can paint smell kill my ants if I transfer them?

Please someone help me. Im really afraid to transfer my ants.

What type of paint was used and how long ago was it applied?
Proverbs 6:6-8

Go to the ant, you sluggard;
consider its ways and be wise!
It has no commander,
no overseer or ruler,
yet it stores its provisions in summer
and gathers its food at harvest.
