F-ing ants

cured · December 10th, 2007

I just picked up my Power adapter, to find a nest of ANTS underneath my Routers adapter!! Eggs falling out all over the box i had them on..

Disconnecting all the cables, and cleaning everything off. I decided to re-arrange the room.

I'm gonna kill all them suckas.. now i'm tired

Tis the season! Especially if you live in a climate where it is getting cold outside. They like to pack up and move inside.

Ants have killed a lot of computer PSU's. I'd check all your stuff if you haven't already.

What do they carry them off and torture them to death?

I explored my PSU a couple of weeks ago, and I'm always looking inside my case. So it shouldn't be a problem.

But i have already dealt with them inside my router months ago anyway.. i had to tape it up with ugly brown shit..

Nothing gets as hot as the adapter for it anyway.

I'm the type that would plug it in quick and zap as many as possible.... I'd be wiling to buy a new adapter just for the satisfaction of zapping them bastards

Better get that cleaned off or the ants will carry your monitor off and torture it to death too.

LOL. Smartass.

Ants love the warmth of power supplies for some damn reason. I had one of my wife's co-workers bring me his computer in August. He had the blue genie escape the last time he had tried to turn it on. I pulled the PSU and there was ant crap, dirt and pieces of what looked like rocks all inside the PSU. I asked him if he had an ant problem and he said he did.

Eventually, the ants will deposit enough ant shit and other materials to short something out.
