May i know where do you live?

Now my laptop is even getting those red ants all over. Everyday have to spray insect killer.

Perhaps this is a new breed of red ants in malaysia that likes to breed/move-around electronic stuffs.

Usually ants are attracted to sweet stuff or living things, right?

How can a laptop or a game console have any of that?

And i double-checked my laptop and it's super-clean. But the ants stil love it.

Mind you it's only a specific breed of red ants that does this.

Not those big red ants you see on trees outside or black ants.

These are small red ants (quite tiny) and they are really a pest to electronic stuffs.

They are around even when the electronic stuff is on and off. At first, i thought it was the heat that attracted them. But at one moment, the ants infestation became even more when the electronic stuf was off. Really disgusting even to look at them. Uggh.

The good thing is, if there are people using the unit (like my laptop) all the time, they tend to go away. If they have planted some eggs with the queen around, they will move the eggs out too.
Talking about this even makes me feel disgusted. rclxub.gif
