Hi everyone! How are you all? I'm doing good. Well, coming to the topic, I had a tough time cleaning. Yeah. It's because of those little ants which went inside the keyboard of my laptop. For the last two days, whenever I sit to work on my laptop, I was greatly disappointed with these ants.(my laptop is only 3 months old. I keep it very safely. But dunno how these ants came.Then I would chase them, and sit back to work. But the next day also the same thing happened. So, I decided to clean the whole study table where I used to sit and work. So, gladly my laptop is fine and I didn't see any ants between the keyboard keys now. Image : Google.

I hope you can suck them all out. Are you using a vacuum device for a laptop?

@Teekaaa That's great! Neither I am. I do not have one and am planning to it soon. Are you considering buying one?

Nope! I don't have that device. If it had been there, it would be much easier to clean. But somehow I cleaned my workspace.

Even I don't do that. It's my new laptop, so I handle it very carefully and keep it very safe. But inspite of that, those ants came.

Something must've fallen inside the keyboard. Ants don't usually go inside the keyboard unless there's food. It's an odd space for a new lair as well.

When you see ants it’s best to clean everything and also the trail. Ants fallow each other set son you want to clean the trail as far away as you from your stuff. Also don’t keep food around that area.

I hope they dont come back. But some bugs are attracted to electronics.
