We recently discovered we have an ant problem, and we are planning to fumigate. However, three ants have just climbed out of my computer. What can I do about this?

take off the side panel by unscrewing two screws on one of the back edges, then suck them out with a vacuum cleaner.
don't just shut the pc down, unplug it from the wall too then hold onto something metal for a while to get rid of static electricity.

I had a big ant problem yesterday. A long line of ants crawling along the skirtng board in our dining room. They were all after a dead moth. So I sprayed the line with Fly Spray. All gone.
Have you a dead moth or fly in your computer that the ants are trying to eat?

Shut youc computer down, and put sticky candy beside you computer, on a piece of paper maybe. The ants are going to come out sooned or later. Probably cuz of the heat ur causing too :):):)

The best thing i can say is dont eat around your computer. They can be very annoying, but can be taken care of by just clean up after yourself and dont leave any sugary items around your desk, (candy, soda, dishes...etc) and clean your desk often, you can also use raid, but open the windows...not good to breath in!

Open up the box and blow all the ants out (with mouth or compressed air can).

open up the case, and vacuum inside the computer..hopefully that's all the ants you had living in there.

open the case and make sure they have not nested in there, I had the same problem with a powerstrip, if they have nested in there you may have to clean it out, check areas like the power supply thoroughly
