Simple. Poke a few Bay Leaves into the back of your monitor. You will soon see the ants will pack up and move out. Suggest you put small pieces of citrus peel around outside your house too. Wait till they move out of your monitor first.

Don't put citrus into your monitor because of the moisture content.

I await your solution with baited (with ant poison:D) breath.

Yes .
They will find a new nest, they won't just leave if it's comfy because of the queen .

Not funny for you though.

788503 2009-07-06 03:09:00 Hi guys,

thanks for the thoughts and advice.

I tried the ant poison trick around the base of the monitor and it has resulted in some dead ants, but not as many as I would of expected.There's not many crawling around the monitor now, I have a feeling they may have taken the poison back to there nest...inside my screen :horrified

In my desperation I have taken to trying to lure the ants in to the recycle bin with my cursor key to no avail. Can ants see or do they just sense? maybe I should just get a screensaver of a rabid anteater rampaging around on my desktop :D
