Ants are really dangerous

I was watching TV at night when suddenly there was a very loud explosion, and after I checked the whole place it turned out that my adapter had a fuse cut off. And what's inside the adapter? there are a number of ants gathered to make a nest there, and not only do they do that there they also do it on other electronic devices. This is the first time I have seen ants so vicious, they can destroy everything.

Several years ago, Pretty lost three laptops to ants. They kept making nests inside the laptops and causing short circuits in them.

@jstory07 We didn't know they would do that. Scientists think it's because ants are attracted to the heat inside electronic devices.

they haven't eaten the wire, they have just occupied one of the parent components.

@RebeccasFarm it's not your fault, they do anything for their ambitions.

@Missmwngi cockroaches are very disgusting while ants never play in water.

This is scary. We have ants inside our home and can't get rid of them. We tried a pesticide, it didn't work. We have pets and we can't use strong poison because of them.

There must be a way to get rid of them but there are too many of them to get rid of.

as long as there is a gap, the ants will definitely be able to get in. That's why they can never get into the phone because it's too tight.

As far as I remember from one of the videos I watched, these ants attracted to electronic devices are red ants, right? Have you considered taking preventive measures, such as placing ant repellents or regularly cleaning the area around your electronic devices?

I thought it was a combination of black and red ants because what I saw was a very dark red color.

It's unusual, but not unheard of, for ants or other insects to nest inside electronic devices. The warmth generated by these devices can attract them, and they might find the confined spaces suitable for building nests. However, it's not that common for ants to cause an explosion or cut off a fuse in an adapter.

even though in the room the temperature can be more than 40 degrees Celsius, the ants this time are not kidding, maybe there are thousands or even millions nesting in the adapter because when I opened it they were so small they were almost invisible.
