  1. Put some ant bait (commercial or a combination of dry yeast and sugar) near the computer.  The ants should come out of the computer to get the bait and take it back to the queen. I would let the computer sit for a day or two or at least overnight next to the bait.  Do not put the bait on / in your laptop.  Kill most of the ants as they come out for the bait so that they do not die in the computer...but you need some of them to get the bait to the queen or you will keep having ants.  You may need to repeat this process a few times, especially if you are unable to let the laptop sit next to the bait for a few days. ..Good luck


  2. go to walmart and buy the dust off for the keyboard . it removes dust from it and that should take care of the prob, and any time they get it there hit them up with that
