edited September 2011 in All Encompassing Trip
actually i have ants in my macbook. not kidding. please read the following account and tell me what to do:

all these...
i got ants
i got ants in my macbook
ants in my macbook
ants in my macbook
their eggs in my macbook
ants in my macbook
ants in my macbook
ants in the way i feel about you
ants on my macbook
trying to get in
they don't go nowhere
waiting, waiting...
ants on my macbook
crowded the floor
standing, sitting, kneeling...
a few block the door
and now the question's:
do i kill them?
become their friend?
do i eat them?
raw or well done?
do i trick them?
i don't think they're that dumb
do i join them?
looks like that's the one
i got ants in my macbook
tickle my nausea
i let it happen again
they're always takin' over
i see they surround me, i see...
see them deciding my fate
oh, that which was once...was once up to me...
now it's too late
i got ants in my macbook...one on one
that's when i had a chance
i'll just stop now
i'll become naked
and with the...i'll become one




how will i get them out? i killed about 6 while penning this post :?

    Ummmm ....

    You could tempt them out by putting a little pile of sugar outside the macbook. They'll come out to get it and grab them before they get chance to go back in.

    Any good??

    There's this stuff called "Ant Kill." You can get it at the grocery store. Outside of it's clever trademark, it works amazingly well... I'm convinced it is ant cocaine laced with poison.

    It comes in a cylinder-shaped bottle the size of an eye drop bottle.

    Have you tried the ARP(ant relocation project)? I have heard of this program working in similar cases, but then the whole colony needs new habitate councilling and new work programs put in place for those affected by the move. I think the best thing to do is buy a new macbook, have the ants coaxed out of the first one with gentle words that give warm fuzzy feelings to these creatures and then with promise of a new better life. Then placing the new macbok in he exact place of the old one, since location is key to their survival. Then you will have your macbook back, but will need to continue councilling and do not use the first macbook in sight of the new habitat as it brings up new issues that need to be dealt with by a professional trained in such areas, and they are not nearly as easy to find as one would think... :)

    do not kill them
    feel fortunate they made your macbook out of a ant hill
    some people have been known to make mountains out of ant hills or mole hills
    let us know when you get moles

    thank you kindly,

    swear to the lord above that in my monitor here (a dell) an entire herd of minute white or cream colored little fuckers have been residing for many a year.

    i keep a very tidy almost spotless home. sure i have a dirty clothes basket, that's it. why and how and what and where and who are these little white creamy fuckers?

    they have made their quarters inside my dell gadget.

    this may help you and your bugs. it helps me and my bugs.

    You need to entice them out. Bring your Macbook outside (where there are no more ants... maybe on some newspaper) and put a piece of a candy bar about a foot away from it. Once enough leave the Macbook, bring it back in...

    rinse and repeat. ;)
    ADD 5,200 to the post count you see, thank you. :)

    Do ants require oxygen to breathe? If so, and if you can get carbon dioxide, you put your macbook in a clear tub, fill it with carbon dioxide, and either they vacate, or suffocate.

    This made me very curious, so....

    from Wikipedia (take it for what you will):

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ants

    Insects do not have lungs; oxygen and other gases like carbon dioxide pass through their exoskeleton through tiny valves called spiracles.
