Ernesto Alvarez 818262 Posted August 17, 2010 at 06:56 PM Posted August 17, 2010 at 06:56 PM i noticed today a couple of ants hanging around my laptop. we have an ant issue with the house so no surprise there. but what cought my eye is they seem to have been carrying food or other objects towards the laptop. so im wondering if i have some new tenants? thinking whether i should open it up and check to be sure before they cause something to go bad. opening it isnt an issue, done it before to replace different parts, but the screws are so tiny, it drives me nuts trying not to lose them any other ways to kinda lure them out if they are in there?

Richard Gerrish Posted August 17, 2010 at 11:23 PM Posted August 17, 2010 at 11:23 PM canned air will get them out. also be sure to get an exterminator out to spray the house good. if they can't get in then they can't get to your laptop. they may be hauling food out instead of in Richard Gerrish Developer, STM Applications Group Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
