When I scroll the ants move with the scroll.

Put the laptop in an airtight container. Fill it with CO2 and let sit for 24 hours.

I live in rural NC. This is the worst I have ever seen them.
They are tiny ants. At least they aren't giant red ants bot they sure are annoying. I have to keep my sugar in the refrigerator.
AAARG!

Blow the vents out out afterwards to clear out the dead ants.
That's what I did to a laptop that had one of those little pissant nests in it.
