Dear friends,
                  Whenever I switch on my laptop,after sometime some ant come out of the keyboard unable to bear the heat inside.Ants find conveinient warmth inside the laptop for them when the laptop is switched off. Any ideas how to prevent them from entering into the laptop before they can make damage to it.
 
Suggest viable solution to this problem

The ants do not find it comfortable under keyboard. In a laptop the best place an ant finds is inside the hard disk casing. The ants comes out when the hdd starts spinning. Please have a look at your hdd casing.
The best way to keep them off is not to take eatables near the lappy :)

i got the same ant attack. Kill kill kill that is my policy. i opened
the laptops back battery and cover .some air blows using refiller of a
pen and a small tube. but i took one week to clear all ants.

A small Ayurvedic precaution.

Please keep a small piece of turmeric near the laptop or inside the bag.
