Opened my laptop after casually spotting 1–2 ants going in and out for days… turns out they had built an entire colony inside 💀

They were living around the display connector and inside the speakers. The little demons literally chewed holes into the speaker woofer and made apartments in there 😭

Had to disconnect the battery and use a hairdryer from a safe distance for like 1–2 hours. About 90% either died or evacuated. Thankfully the motherboard seems fine, but now my speaker sounds like someone talking from inside a steel pot 💀

The craziest part? Some of them were trying to eat my thermal paste. Ants out here benchmarking my laptop before me.

So i have been seeing 1 or 2 ants entering and leaving my laptop everyday but I didn't pay any heed to it until I opened it today and found out literally a colony of them living on my display connector and inside the speaker. They literally made holes on the speaker woofer and were living inside it 😭.

I used a hairdryer from a safe distance after removing the battery. After 1-2 hrs , almost 90% of the ants were dead / fled away. Now they are all almost gone. But now my speaker sounds like someone is speaking out of a pot. Thank god, nothing else happened. Also, few of them were trying to eat up my thermal paste like wtf 💀💀💀
