there are those small red ants inside my laptop..is the small red ants attracted to heats?they keep crawling into the speaker hole of my laptop. Once they crawl out, i squeeze them to death...how to draw them out of my laptop?i dun wan thousands of ants body inside my laptop.any suggestions?

open ur lappie, clean it
might got somethin sweet inside
use racun semut lah btw^^

i get that alot. always ants crawling on my laptop and phone. but found out theres none inside.

those ants are somehow attracted to very warm place with electro magnetic waves.

Smoke 'em?

Burn them. Burn them all.

Seriously, just open up your notebook and clean it. Get a can of compressed air or a USB powered vacuum cleaner and blow/suck at every vent you can.

Yeah, I had this problem as well with my previous Qosmio F60.... you need to be careful and keep your desk clean at all times
I usually just keep on luring them out by blowing at them holes and then luring them out, then kill them

How is that possible? Sweet things inside laptop?

^ never know until you try?
Works for me, whenever I blow, some "curious" ones will come out and I kill them
Oh ya, one more thing, try not to leave your laptop at your desk during the night. Keep it properly and put it away to prevent more ants from entering the chassis

Still, the most effective way is to open up the laptop and check, its going to be a problem if they built a nest there

i had a similar experience, but it wasn't my laptop. they were under my lcd tv's stand. i was surprised as my room have no record of ants for many years.

did a full clean my room after that. so far ok, after few months ledi no sign of them.

i duno if the ants attracted to the electro magnetic wave or the heat but what i know is whenever i have an unused device such as old hanphone or a dead laptop.. there will be these ants.. once i found they build a ant nest in my old nokia 6600..

dun use the ant poison. they will be dead inside! tried vacuum or use torchlight lured them out.. they like to stay place like inside our ear that kinda temperature.. if they saw the light, it will follow the light!

Torchlight?

at dark place.. point any light towards the part u doubt got ants.. they will slowly become urs!

ur laptop sure got alot donut pics

better clean it up asap later they set up base at ur laptop... then i dunno liau. so dun eat while playing ur lappy or drink starbuck while the drinks drop a small portion at ur speaker hole.

open up ur laptop, burn the suckas

no need lah. use vacuum suck it then use hair dryer blow it! repeat this 2 step again! until u feel satisfied!

go play black ops, heat up inside, burn the suckas

Din't work for me last time.... they're just too persistent

lolx.. smoke them out with lots of smoooke xD

Had the same problem with black ants. What did I do? Remove the HDD and start shaking the laptop vigorously til they decide to run out and then CyberClean all of them.

lol~~imagining someone holding a laptop vigorously, sounds farny

hmm, remove the hdd, go dip ur laptop in boiling water and then dry it up b4 starting lol

You'll fry everything unless you dry up every single component.

already said use torchlight lah.. smoke no use lah.. later the smoke all stick inside the lappy!

ya, i agree with u...quite worry if those ants build up a nest inside...but i have no experience opening a laptop, sked spoil the laptop only...maybe worth a try with the blowing..

no pic but got lot p%rn only..

pic got...p**n also got...but dun leave the topic here...its about the goddamn ants..

i like the torch light idea, but it may take sometimes to kill them 1 by 1. once u are certain that the ants nest isnt inside ur lappy, try this ants killer:

Attached thumbnail(s)

just leave it in the open air for 5 hours. everything will be dried up. i did this to my phone b4 xD

A laptop isn't as simple in construction as a phone. Even if you did dry everything, there's no guarantee that everything can work properly at 100% again.

just cyberclean them.. haha..

dude.. this i uses b4 lah.. 1 ant ate then he passed to another so on.. routine. end up all dead but u wan the ant dead inside the laptop? if white ants lagi worst! this can't solve it!
vaccum & hair dryer is the fastest way!

best solution??? smoooke them out

doubt that...if those ants already make nest inside my laptop...there would be tons of ants crawling out when i shake them or lure them...i think is their scouting crew...

how you smoke them out? use cigar smoke??
they want to make nest. so they ask the scout to check ideal for winter season..
try clean the place... might be discover something? nearby nest ka...

burn something and put ur lappy inside the smoooooke xD

clean the place?clean the hostel?hahahahaha...impossible...

u mean that smoke that usually spray where the place got some1 kena dengue fever? that kinda smoke u mean? smoke can't help much but if fire ants will surely lured out!

BBQ

sked if gt some wasted food left behind ma... it attracts ants..at least the place where you put laptop is clean..

or u can put sulphur around ur laptop xDD

y dun u said bring the laptop to sauna?

those god damn ants crawl through the laptop power cable...sometimes through the LAN cable...doesnt matter whether got food or not...its just keep on coming...

Time to fumigate your room.

I have the same laptop and same problem as you.
Last time there are a lot of ants, thanks to my goddamn cousin who drinks 100plus while playing with my laptop during CNY.
The next day I open my laptop I was like WOW, the ants are celebrating CNY party on my laptop!

I just leave my laptop on another desk for about 3 hours, to let the ants crawl out themselves. (At that point of time there is really a lot of ants, about 100)

After that just left a few, I run my laptop as usual again.

But now from time to time I still realise got ants crawling out, 1 or 2.
The lesson is to keep your laptop clean all the time.

conclusion : the ants want to learn about mobile computing

like what alex said.. need clean it up

100+ for 100 ants

throw ur laptop into freezer.. ants hate cold

use EMP. shock them...

Say bye bye to your hardware.

ants shock resistant

lol! Hahahahaha. Especially from tori.
