How to get rid of ants attacking my computer keyboard's interior?

Question

They keep on coming back and ruining my keyboard.. anti-ants chalk doesn't help.

Answer 1

ant rid ! small white bottle with red lid( about the size and shape of a eyedrop bottle) looks like honey but it works a treat!

Answer 2

quit living like a slob and clean up the soda spills and oreo's around your keyboard.  quit being so cheap and have your house interior/exterior sprayed.  good luck.

Answer 3

Well what did you spill on the keyboard? Have you tried cleaning it? Perhaps you should replace it?

Answer 4

Arrggg. What a pain that must be!

Try ant sand. It works better than chalk, in my experience. Sprinkle some around the computer and keyboard, and onto the ground where they seem to be coming from. Give the computer desk/table a good wipe down with a spray and wipe type product.

That should do the trick.

Answer 5

Use a mixture of cinnamon and sugar. The ants will come for the sugar and take the cinnamon too.  Ants cannot digest cinnamon and when they take it back to their queen she will explode after a while and the colony will die out without her.  Cucumber peels also have the same effect as the cinnamon.  Either one is safe to use indoors or around animals.  Hope this helps!

Answer 6

dont eat at your computer! keep it clean if it is no ants will want to be there

Answer 7

In addition to using various pesticides, you may want to pick up a can of compressed air.  Use the air to spray out from under the keys.  This will help to get rid of any tiny crumbs or debris from the keyboard.

Compressed air can be picked up at places like Circuit city for around $10.00.
