Ants in what - Guess ! =-= In my computer keyboard ! PLEASE HELP   

The first thought that come to my mind is to use a vacumm cleaner. Hope that will get the colony out of your com. Next is to wipe it with a clean damp cloth, becareful that it is not dripping heeheehee. Did you eat and drink while on your com? Spilled something that sipped in? But I'm only a housewife so can't advice on how to dismantle and clean thoroughly. Hope it help, and do get rid of the bad habit of eating/drinking while on your com! :D

Well, this is rarely the case. My suggestion is :
1. Record and re-sequence pictures letters on your keyboard, or if you could browse on google first and then print the image of keyboard.
2. Open any existing letters on the keyboard by using an iron ruler. (Do not worry about these letters can be set again).
3. Wash the letters has been released earlier.
4. Clean the keyboard by spraying body with electronics cleaning fluid, so turn off the ants but it does not interfere with electronics on your keyboard. (But not too much, just up the dead ants)
5. Wipe clean.
6. Reattach the letter that you have clean to the keyboard body, with guide keyboard picture you have created.

I hope helpful!

I get a few ants every now and then (love snacking while on the pc!). I just detach my keyboard from the cpu. Then I shake them out, then I wipe my keys with alcohol. Then Presto! Bam-o! Gone! I hope it works for you.

Just being silly really because I've no practical suggestion except get a new keyboard - expensive I know. Anyway if you have read or seen the hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy you will be aware that ants run our computers so no worries! - sorry my sense of humour got in my way.

If you have a spare keyboard sitting around, put that on your computer and put your old one in the dishwasher. Unless it specifically says dishwasher safe, let it dry for several days to a week. A normal keyboard can often be put through the dishwasher safely IF allowed to dry thoroughly.

Also, ant traps - put 'em everywhere to prevent an infestation happening again.

My keyboard was inhabited by ants before and I applied mosquito repellent. They were dazed by the spray and they danced and danced until they died. I sprayed all over the inside of the keyboard and now the ants had stopped entering the keyboard. They seem to be attracted by the smell of the silicon or whatever that serve as a shock absorber.

Hi!!!!!!!!!!!!
itz pretty funny to respond this topic.Just detach your keyboard.Turn your keyboard to its back and shake it well till u see all the ants and any mud falling out.....
And then keep it in hot son ,so that surely the ant comes out and then if possible cover your keyboard with any of the plastic accessories awith zip.And try to keep your place clean.Try to dust your computer and keyboard after and before use.Be happy to have such a fuuuuuuunnnnnnnnnnyyyyyyyyy problem.

hell0 there! well, it sounds really interesting AND there is only one way to get rid of all these ants in your keyboard. try to take to pieces it or at least remove all the buttons a=on it and blow the ants away!

Wondering if maybe some crumbs maybe got into your keyboard which is what would attract them. I don't know but keyboards can be bought fairly cheap. I would go and get another keyboard if that happened to me. I have bought new keyboards for under 10.00.

Well that is an interesting place to find ants...

I would try a few things, first you could simply shake the keyboard up-side down over a garbage can. That should get a few out. Then you could take a vacuum cleaner to it and hopefully that will get the rest out of their. I don't think you need to go as far as taking the keyboard out. You should be able to get them out in a less drastic way.

Also, to prevent more ants from returning... I would recommend keeping the keyboard clean. Be sure not to eat over it and get crumbs in there. Also if you can, wash your hands before you use it. I am guilty of eating at my keyboard so I know that sometimes you just can't help it...

Hopefully some of these tips will help you in your ant disaster!
