I recently had a problem of ants in my keyboard. I kept it in a safe and dry place at night.. and when I opened it the next morning.. there were ants coming out of my keys.
Believe it or not, I don't eat or drink near my macbook. It has happened twice now. The first incident might have been a fluke, but to have this happen twice.

My problem is very close to the one mentioned here: #-Link-Snipped-#
Someone has mentioned there that there be a problem that the energy frequency emitted by a Mac attracts these specific ants.

Has anyone suffered from this? What is the solution?
I used a hair dryer to blow, but couldn't get rid of all the ants. 😕

    Ohh! This happens for me too and I don't know the reason 😔 I thought this is only for me because sometimes I eat sitting in front of my PC. Now I came to know that, this is not only the reason for ants. And I won't use my PC until that dirty ants go away. Why ants go inside the keyboard and not into the cpu?

    Camphor sprinkled around will get rid of them.

    Keep clean. Dirty habits invite ants. Cleanliness at working place is important. While working, never think of anything else. (Not even eating)

    This should help. One more tip is that ants do not come near cloves. Perhaps that is the reason that some farmers keep cloves to store jaggery.
