My computer is infested

[meesterperfect]

with ants.
serious.
I recently moved from a big but shitty place that had ants and roaches.
no matter how much i cleaned i couldn't get rid of them.
I finally got into a new place 2 weeks ago, real nice little 2 floor apt. and it is clean, no bugs here.
A few days ago I started to notice very small ants crawling on my computer and out of my keyboard.
they are all over, but only on the comp and coming in and out of the keyboard.
Its like theyre living inside it.
today I dumped pine-sol inside the keyboard and let it swish around a bit, hope that helps.
I don't know how to solve this problem.

Ugh...reminds me of the movie Creepshow.

...WARNING. WATCH AT YOUR OWN RISK!

I loved the american show the Verminators and they covered ants in one episode, you need to get them at their nest as that's the only way of getting rid of them as when you kill them the queen just prduces more replacements, although this calls for hiring a professional company. A natural remedy I read is that ants hate vinegar which also masks their scent trails, cover your surfaces with vinegar as well as suspected entry points and see what happens.

This video might be a bit complicated for you but I'll post it anyway

You didn't bug bomb your new place before you moved in?
(That would've reached your PC during the fogging)

Drops of this stuff all around your computer (and the rest of your place).

Not an instant cure, but has worked for me perfectly in three different houses. May take a week.

Good thing it's only the keyboard. What's worse if they are inside the cpu.

If you have any more roach problems get some peppermint candy rounds, leave them in the wrapper, and put it in your kitchen drawers and cabinets. Works like a charm.

Really? I've never heard of this. Do roaches have a natural aversion to peppermint?

They do when you stick it up their arse

I stick peppermint up the arses of roaches?

I need to drink less and remember more...

They stay away from it. You can get rid of fire ants by baiting their hills with cornmeal.

Cornmeal too?

You're a cornucopia of awesome information.

Master Gardner, for reals. lol

 

[Ace Bandage]

This would be an excellent excuse to buy a flamethrower. Or napalm. You know... whatever.

I have no roaches here, thank science, I mean God.
I'm gonna go with the vinegar idea first, see what happens.
Strange how these little ants decided to make a home inside my keyboard though.

 

[~~whimsy~~]

Put your keyboard in a ziploc bag and put it in freezer.

Also Sage (the seasoning) works. We used to put around our windowsills and doorways and the ant problem disappeared.

You need to send in a team of UN negotiators. They should be done fucking it up in about, what, 10 years?

Then you napalm the ants.
