Hello, when I turned on my PC today (which I just bought last week (new ASUS: [ https://www.ldlc.com/fiche/PB00204430.html )] ) after 10 minutes of starting up, I saw ants coming out (I also want to clarify that I have never eaten or drank in front of the PC)
I would like to know how to get them out? And can ants chew on something in the system that could prevent it from functioning properly?
Because having a new PC and then seeing this... it's worrying.

Thank you in advance for your answers.

Hi,

your link to your PC is not working, I think the ants have eaten it too ^^

No, seriously, I don't think they will stay, and apart from insecticide, we can't really offer you a "technical solution."
In the worst case, they might cause a short circuit, but I doubt it..

Hello,

I live in Réunion, the great kingdom of ants. I will share my methods with you:
1°) Take an old cotton t-shirt, spray it with ant insecticide. Wrap your phone in it and place the whole thing in an airtight bag. The next day
I recommend having it completely cleaned and don't forget behind the screen as well.
2°) If your phone doesn't move from its desk and there are no children or pets around.
There is also ant gel that you can place at the four cardinal points of your phone. Time will take care of the rest and bye bye ants.
