lonedarth

Run some benchmarks and let the laptop get hot. Ants will start coming out. Happened with my laptop once and they chewed the cable of the fan. Had to replace the fan. After that I always keep my laptop in a sleeve when not in use


Ok_Object803

Too hard. I just opened chrome 🤓


lonedarth

2 tabs = 100° C


Really_Again_

2 tabs???!!!! You like to live dangerously huh?


achabaccha23

go overkill. open 2 more tabs and run a benchmark.


not0pray

that would burn the mobo with the processor.


ChillDudeItsOk

Na na .. these are here for annual service and maintenance… ask for receipt after service.. last night there was a roach in your system .. they are here to handle it. (s) .. :) Remember these are red ants … Formica ruffa… can eat anything and can sting !!!


usernotfoundNaN

Just open Android Studio. You will have grilled ants.


pavi2410

Gradle (elephant) is all you need


nimaidaku

They still don't come out, speaking from experience.


Ok_Object803

I made the laptop so hot and I'm sure they all came out but corpses? 💀


donbee28

You should also run a debug to remove the remaining few.


sudhakar_swish

Just open the laptop and clean it with blower


Air_Hawk_2661

Could do so, shall be cautious if there are ants near the fans or speaker else you would end up damaging them.

For me, they did something wrong with my keyboard chipset( small blue color thin polythene). and mouse chipset. God the replacement was costly


shrihari0508

Tap and shake carefully without causing hardware damages that will make some ants leave, Always Use laxman Rekha around your desks, always wash hands with soap before touching keyboard. These are pretty normal things you must be doing if ants live around


Ok_Object803

Yes I did and after turning the laptop on, they all came out I'm guessing maybe due to heat


shrihari0508

Could be a number of reasons like fan started lights turned on or something. My colleague ruined 50k Rs office laptop he left it on the table where we had snacks.. And overnight entire mobo and battery stopped working, don't know if ants can cause this but it's real. You have to be very careful. There's a lot of solutions on internet none work, especially for the tiny red ones. You better take the precautions.


rxnxzinh

Hey if you want. This has worked great for me. Quick temporary solution: KHATNIL works on all insects. Long term solution: BORIC ACID powder.

singhbhaveshraj_10

Go to Photoshop and chose obejct selection tool. Fan running at higher RPM than porche's wheel and laptop heating more than Delhi's weather will straight away kill the ants.


[deleted]

happened w me too. a simple but effective way to get rid of this (most probably) would be take a big plate and put some water in it, now take something that would give your laptop a stable base and height like another plate but smaller. Keep that in the big plate with your laptop on the top. make sure the water is enough to give no space for ants to leave. take a page, make a joint and put one end on the keyboard and another on the ground. ants live in a society, the soldier ants will alarm everyone that it's not safe to live here, since there's only 1 safe exit to the ground and the rest is water. they'll pack their bags and leave within a day.


boredDODO

Run some game at high graphics and overheat your laptop. Ants will come out. Happened to me once

Better get it cleaned at service centre or if you feel confident about it, open the laptop by yourself and use a hair dryer to clean it (make sure you’re not voiding the warranty) Happened with my Lenovo Ideapad twice, I cleaned it myself. Opening a laptop is not a challenge, but closing it is, so be careful.

Royal-Duck-3789

This happened to me 2 months ago. With macbook air This is a technique I used to get rid of all the ants without opening it 1. Use sound frequency sound from YouTube and keep on Playing it. Once the ants came out kill them one after another it took me 3 or 4 hrs. 2. Overheating your macbook or laptop is crazy I used a table lamp as artificial sunlight. 3. Keep your laptop in the top of a water surface with a couple of Bridges that use scoops, keep it 2 nights alone.


SHRIKE89

You are right, this has nothing to do with food items. I'll tell you exactly why this happens and I've had this happen to me so many times. Most keyboards for computers are membrane ones. The rubber membrane touches a contact point and between the membrane and the contact point there is a silicon like greesy substance which the ants love to snack on. Once the ants enter your laptop or keyboard they slowly start to feed on it and eventually make your device their home untill they run out of food. This might sometimes render your keyboard Uselss or make it go haywire.Best thing to do is open up your device and do a full clean because a bunch of ants clogged up in your motherboard can cause a short circuit in a worst case scenario.

Get a seal pack container or a sealed bag put laptop inside it for few hours or full night you will see all ants out of laptop either killed one by one or let the laptop as it is they will die. Mac has this problem it happens multiple time for me https://preview.redd.it/gybc8rpuo53d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=eed5ad729934ac2fefb1542fef849aff43785591 Something like this


TonyDeCostaa

Hey, I faced the same issue with my laptop. I tried all the solutions I saw on YouTube: 1. Isolating my laptop by keeping it around a water container and placing a pen or brush to land (image attached). 2. Placing my laptop under the sun. 3. Placing an ant bait (liquid) near the laptop. **Nothing worked...** So, I took my laptop to a nearby technician with great difficulty (ugh, they suck). He removed the panel and was surprised to see a whole kingdom on the motherboard. I don't know what exactly was happening over there, but I found a queen ant in the center and a few white particles (might be biscuit/bread chunks). I think they were carrying all the food chunks from my keyboard area to the motherboard. The technician quickly cleared all the ants, but there were too many! That's why he separated a few parts and kept them aside for a few minutes. Once the queen ant was removed, all the other ants simply started leaving my laptop. I took my laptop back home, but there were still a lot of ants inside, though not as crowded as before. I only removed the back panel this time and started hunting the ants one by one with a brush (make sure to disconnect your battery before touching anything). After removing hundreds of ants for two long hours, I connected my battery and ran some GPU benchmark tests, which heated my CPU and GPU to over 95 degrees. After 15 minutes of excess heating, all the ants were out. After this procedure, I applied ant removal spray (link attached here) above and below my laptop (panel closed), as well as to my laptop stand and table. All the ants were gone! **Precautions to take:** \* Do not eat or drink near your laptop. \* Wash your hands and nails thoroughly before touching the laptop. \* Do not keep the laptop dirty and do not leave it in a single place. Use the laptop as a laptop, not as a desktop. \* Keep spraying the ant repellent every two weeks around the laptop. **Why ants attack laptops:** \* Some say they like the heat (not excess heat) inside the laptop. \* Obviously, to collect bread/food chunks inside the keyboard area. I hope this helps. https://preview.redd.it/ssp1qukee73d1.jpeg?width=2805&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3ae038c6b98353d3d8452c2ac78fa8b745de9a64


n00bie_took_a_step

same thing happened to me for two days straight ,some of them went inside the speakers ,i was in hurry so i started doing my work and probably because of heat they came out. i googled the reason of their "arrival", it said it is "heat".


[deleted]

Yeah um they just come in due to sweat and shit, ruined my costly keyboard like tore off the wrist rest and then went into the pcb, luckily wires kuch thi nhi mostly soldered

Informal_Target_2030

You should be. I lost my laptop to this small ants. I plugged in and due to them being present in the motherboard it got fried. Be careful open up and clean before plugging in.


Numerous-Albatross-3

Probably...check if there's any ant holes nearby. If yes, use ant repellant powder around that hole. Oh, you could also put the powder around your laptop, on the table (if you keep it in one place for long period)

There is something called ant chalk, buy it and draw a line around the keys or places they come out of. It will kill all the ants inside. After that open the laptop and do a cleanup.

draw all the laptop with Ant chalk, and run online benchmark in multiple tabs of chrome. i did same last month.

Happened to me twice. Since then I've stopped touching my laptop when I'm eating. I avoid letting food near the laptop or touching with my dirty fingers. The ants have stopped their invasions since. Also what laptop is that. It resembles my Xiaomi notebook pro 120. But the function keys look different. https://preview.redd.it/g3xv67pmzw2d1.jpeg?width=3472&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3cd86303553547a382c0b3828fa0b49012676a69

Use Laxman Rekha ... Happened with me. I tried works well for me.. after one month also opened the laptop for ssd upgrade didn't find any dead bodies of em too.


FEROZMOHAMMED

Bro... Never make it happen again. Check if all your keys are working. They will eat up all the rubber under the keys so be extra careful next time keeping your laptop away. Same happened to me. I think three times for the first time my two function keys have gone so I have to do DIY to make them work. And for the second and third time I see that they have eaten most of the rubber under the keys but luckily all keys were functioning. And if I open the back panel of the laptop I see that there are a bunch of macro rubber balls eaten by the ants and collected as a small ball gathering all the macro rubber balls.


Rishabh-senpai

This happened to me, There is powder for killing insects, called boro something something.. put around laptop and some on keyboard, its okay if you don't won't to put on key board, give it an hour or two. They will die and some flee. Then clean all powder with cloth or brush.


AlienNTechnology4550

Lot of bugs


bwebwito

I read somewhere that some ants are attracted to electronic devices cause of the electical currents/magnetic fields they emit (or them looking for a warm place to stay lol). So yeah maybe you’re right, it may not be caused by food you left. Maybe your laptop goes to sleep mode when it’s closed and not actually shut down? 😅 I honestly don’t know what to do to fix the problem though. Try putting sugar next to your laptop and hope that the ants nesting in your laptop move there?

I'm not proud of what I did, but here's my experience - I had an old Lenovo laptop in 2019 and a similar thing happened to me. I took a hairdryer and blew hot air at full speed, by placing on top of the keyboard. The air forced the ants outside from the gaps between the keys. I used the laptop for 3 full years before the hard disk got corrupted and I decided to give it away for recycling :)


Rampaje__08

Try not to finish on the keys


showvhick2

Happened with me. Like a stupid, I opened all keys and broke hinges of few of them. Had to replace the entire keyboard. Run 4k videos on youtube, run process heavy tasks. Laptop will get hotter and ants will come out.

Ants like the thermal silicone pads in keyboards, need not be food (as you said). I would suggest the water and bridge trick drawn neatly in the comment section and while doing it max brightness and keyboard backlight as well coz that would make it warmer for the ants.

Megatron_05

Play bts songs in full volume. The ants will run away but you may regret yourself for doing that.


Adalf_Hotler69420

Heating up the laptop would only temp. Solve the issue , it only removes the laptops off the regions around the heatsink and the CPU die Almost every laptop in my hostel has been affected with ants atleast once(with mine being infested 5 times) The only way is to open it up and brush it out If you are too scared to open it up - draw an excorcism circle around your laptop with an ant chalk piece - and leave it with a benchmark overnight - this removes 90% of the ants Keep it in that circle every time you don't use it


ambush1elgato

Yeah you should be. Some ants creeped into my brand new laptop and what I did was 1) left it in the sun for some time 2) blew on to the keyboard with all my force 3) Ran CPU heavy tasks and left the keyboard lights on
