a few days ago, i found ants crawling in and out of my laptop. i had no idea where they came from. maybe they got in there because i left my laptop open. i was clueless. i seldom eat or drink near my laptop and i placed it nowhere near anything that could attract ants. for like two days, i waited for the last ant to get out. i searched the internet and found out that ants in laptops are actually experienced by a lot of other individuals. so i looked for some advice on what they did to get rid of them.
some said to bring it to a service center and have it cleaned thoroughly, meaning, disassembling the whole thing. i wasn't really planning to do that until the second day when i found some of them still in there. i read some wise advice. to put sugar beside the laptop so that ants would crawl out and go directly to the sugar. i've killed a lot of them and after the sugar thing, 3 big ones got out. i'm guessing one of them was their queen. i read that if you take the queen down, the rest will follow. haha. after that, i didn't see any other ant. ;) what a relief! i searched for laptop sleeves over the net to protect my laptop from ants and other insects, or from dust. i went to the mall and found out that they were overly priced. so i went to cdr king knowing they sell cheap stuff (the ones they're selling are priced at P180) but they didn't have one that fits my laptop in the design and color that i want. so i went to the department store and i found the one. hehe.
i took a picture of it. it's cute and affordable at P249.75 compared to the others which ranged from P600-P2,000 up. my laptop came with a bag but it's too bulky and i don't really wanna put it in there each day and take it out time again since i use it a lot. so i really wanted a sleeve. i'm so glad i found one. ;) it was a tiring search but was worth my patience, and my mom's. ;) cheers!
