Can ants cause short circuit in electronic devices?
I'm wondering if ants can cause short circuit in an electronic circuit or computer's motherboard. I've been noticing sudden rise in the population of ants (mostly because of rainy reason) around my iMac and I'm worried that they might enter the machine and cause short circuit.
I thought the ants would keep away from the computer because it's at higher temperature when running - but the ants seem to be least bothered by the temperature. I just noticed an ant crawling right inside the machine - and I'm wondering if it's got any plan to damage the circuit.
Has anyone had any incidence of an ant causing damage to the electronics? Let me know.
