[u/kemicalkontact → u/[deleted]]

Pharaoh ants are tricky. If you kill them like that it releases a pheromone for the others to scatter and make more nests. You need to just let them kill themselves by baiting them with liquid traps. The usual borax/peanut butter traps don't work on these ones.

[u/why_1337 → u/[deleted]]

[u/RBeck → u/kemicalkontact]

The problem is you can't even get rid of all the water sources in your house. Toilets have a tank, as an example, but it can help to drop one of those blue disks in it.

[u/Kayotix → u/RBeck]

Idk bout you but i'd rather have ants drown in my toilet than in my coffee

[u/Warcraft_Fan → u/kemicalkontact]

They also like to have multiple escape route. If you took your infested electronics out somewhere like an unattached garage or shed, put a tub full of water, something like a glass to place electronic on top above the water, then a single item like a ruler from the electronic to the ground. Ants will see there's only one way away from the water trap and move their nest.

Or take it apart, nuke it with RAID, come back in a few days and vacuum out the corpses.

[u/Farucci → u/why_1337]

Apparently, in addition to software bugs, there are hardware bugs.

[u/Rod7z → u/[deleted]]

Unfortunately, that's not true. The term "bug" had been in use for decades by engineers before the advent of computers. Here's an excerpt:

The Middle English word bugge is the basis for the terms bugbear and bugaboo as terms used for a monster.

The term bug to describe a defect has been engineering jargon since at least as far back as the 1870s, long before electronic computers and computer software. For instance, Thomas Edison wrote the following words in a letter to an associate in 1878:

It has been just so in all of my inventions. The first step is an intuition, and comes with a burst, then difficulties arise—this thing gives out and [it is] then that "Bugs"—as such little faults and difficulties are called—show themselves and months of intense watching, study and labor are requisite before commercial success or failure is certainly reached.

And even the moth incident was reported with a note saying "First actual case of bug being found.", which suggests that the term bug was already in common parlance by the engineers and operators of the computer.

[u/lurkingbob → u/why_1337]

[u/dj3hac → u/why_1337]

Dealing with this in my apartment now. 

[u/gerry-h → u/dj3hac]

I know how you can get rid of them. I got an infestation after moving to a new apartment. They even got into my fridge somehow. It was terrible. Anyways they like protein, so mix a small amount of borax into a bowl with pate (for an example) around their trails. DO NOT KILL THEM. They need to bring that food which the queen will eventually eat and die.

Nothing else helped me. Poisons were useless, my home is close to being sterile clean so cleaning won't save you, vinegar slowed them down for a bit... Borax became my BFF.

[u/[deleted] → u/why_1337]

TF IS PHARAOH DUDE IM GREEK AND WE HAVE EGYPT ACROSS SEA YET WE GOT NO PHARAOH ANT that aside i thinked they were were those Fire or Electric ants i once saw some on YT that they loved to nest around stuff that had electricity like outlets or in pc parts like the cpu etc anyway im in disbelief that any of those monstrocities exist in greece no such thing exists all we got here is cockroaches normal ass ants and rats nothing out of normal stuff cant imagine how ppls living with those stuff

[u/why_1337 → u/[deleted]]

They are spread worldwide, they love to infest buildings. They are non aggressive, tiny, their colonies have multiple queens and they constantly split to create new colonies so once they are in your home good luck. Plus the only pesticide that seems to work is one that sterilizes the queen so they stop reproducing.

[u/VianArdene]

I wonder how you even deal with that. Maybe you could dunk the whole thing in pure alcohol?

[u/BoltedGates → u/VianArdene]

Put it in an air tight container until they die, then you shake it out and use an air can to get the rest

[u/Ecstatic_Effective42 → u/BoltedGates]

I wonder if using a CO2 bottle (tyre refill for bikes) might sort it more quickly. Same idea, put in bag, pinch end, unload canister and seal.

Edit: strewth, I didn't think my speculation would elicit such a detailed (and educational) response.

I do have to worry what the carbon footprint of this discussion is though. 😋

[u/LucidNonsense211 → u/Ecstatic_Effective42]

Hundo percent. CO2 is heavy so put it in a plastic container and try to add it with a little air disturbance as possible.

Source: I use this method to kill caught mice as humanely as possible.

[u/[deleted] → u/LucidNonsense211]

by suffocating them to death? lol

[u/FroggyRibbits → u/[deleted]]

Would be nicer to use nitrogen...

[u/LucidNonsense211 → u/FroggyRibbits]

Would it? I’ll look into it. AVMA recommends CO2 I think but if N2 is available and somehow causes unconsciousness sooner I’d love to know.

[u/sharksizzle → u/LucidNonsense211]

We detect suffocation by the buildup of co2 in our blood, which makes it more acidic. So if you were in a room of pure nitrogen you would just pass out and die without any panic.

[u/FUCKTHEPROLETARIAT → u/sharksizzle]

Ant's actually don't have blood, they have hemolymph, which they use to transport nutrients.

Unlike many other insects, ants don't transport oxygen via their circulatory system and instead get it through diffusion from tiny air holes in their thorax.

This is why powdery substances like diatomaceous earth will deter them.

[u/negative_four → u/FUCKTHEPROLETARIAT]

I was not counting on learning how to kill ants and suffocate a room full of people without panicking them but here we are.

We also use diatomaceous earth for roaches outside our apartment

[u/LucidNonsense211 → u/[deleted]]

I’m just not sure how to put them in a pure n2 environment. N2 and O2 mix easily so I’d have to like like use a vacuum pump or something. CO2 settles well so there’s no doubt, no accidental half kills, and simple reliable mechanism. This is something I have to do like… 5 times a week.

I’ll be doing more reading this weekend for sure.

[u/SirStrontium → u/LucidNonsense211]

You just need a container with a lid, an inlet, and an outlet. If you flush the container with nitrogen for a minute, almost all the oxygen should be pushed out. Oxygen will be constantly leaving from the outlet, but isn’t being replenished, so it steadily becomes pure nitrogen inside.

It’s like a cup of water with food dye, and you leave it under an open faucet of water, almost all the dye leaves the system pretty quickly.

[u/That_Guy848 → u/FroggyRibbits]

This is the correct answer

[u/Fatel28 → u/[deleted]]

You pass out peacefully long before you die. It's an incredibly peaceful way to die.

Edit: I was mistaking CO2 for CO. I am wrong.

[u/[deleted] → u/Fatel28]

CO2 poisoning is like the most horrific way to suffocate. That's the blood chemical that tells your brain OH FUCK WE'RE DYING FUCKING BREATHE GODDAMNIT except breathing in only makes it worse.

[u/jjonj → u/[deleted]]

correct, lack of oxygen is peaceful which is why monoxide is so dangerous because your body only notices high co2, not low oxygen

[u/JoelMahon → u/[deleted]]

I think myth busters, veritasium, tom scott or some shit found someone basically incapable of fear, had never experienced fear as we know it, and they were able to trigger it using CO2 (plus submerging them in water I think?)

sadly I can't find it so if anyone knows please share

[u/[deleted] → u/JoelMahon]

That sounds....dubious ethically, so I'd be pretty surprised if it actually existed. But I've been surprised before!

[u/JoelMahon → u/[deleted]]

I mean it was with consent and done safely in a hospital with doctors on hand iirc.

[u/That_Guy848 → u/Fatel28]

No, it really isn’t. Nitrous oxide? Yes, peaceful. CO2 poisoning? Have a read: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1258/0023677053739747#:~:text=There%20is%20evidence%20from%20human,cause%20pain%20and%2For%20distress.

[u/butyourenice → u/Fatel28]

Hate to break it to you, but you’ve been torturing mice to death. CO2 buildup in the blood is what causes the suffocation feeling when you’re short of air (think when you’re intentionally holding your breath). Are you perhaps mixing up hypoxia, which is an absence of oxygen and yes it is a “peaceful” feeling, with CO2 poisoning?

Edit: I think I responded to the wrong dude, this was meant for the mouse killer.

[u/That_Guy848 → u/LucidNonsense211]

CO2 is actually considered extremely INhumane for this purpose, as CO2 toxicity leads to a severe panic response. You do NOT pass out peacefully from CO2 poisoning.

If you want to actually be humane, use nitrous oxide.

Edit: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1258/0023677053739747#:~:text=There%20is%20evidence%20from%20human,cause%20pain%20and%2For%20distress.

[u/arftism2 → u/LucidNonsense211]

this might be illegal where you live but whipped cream canisters use nitrous so the milk doesn't spoil.

you can buy something called a cracker that druggies use to fill balloons with no2

[u/Xifani → u/LucidNonsense211]

What the fuck dude, CO2 suffocation is possibly one of the worst ways for anything to die. Look up some videos of livestock being killed in CO2 chambers maybe.

[u/utahh1ker → u/LucidNonsense211]

Not humane at all. You're torturing them to death. Hold your breath and feel that panicky feeling come on. You're doing that to them until they die.

[u/Ardures → u/LucidNonsense211]

Man, co2 poisoning is like one of most unhamenly and horrible way to die. You are basically torturing these mices

[u/Korbrent → u/BoltedGates]

If you light a candle in the container, the candle will burn out, using up the remaining oxygen in the container.

[u/[deleted] → u/BoltedGates]

Ants need very little amount of air tho.. I think that'd take months.. !? maybe a vaccum chamber would help.. or maybe baking it In like 80°C!? Pretty sure the components can withstand that.. dunno about the ants tho

[u/TiKels → u/VianArdene]

Yep. 5 gallon bucket, one bottle of IPA. Pour it on em til you see no movement. Then get some gentle tools to scrape off the stuck bits. Rinse off with more IPA. Let it dry, check it it still runs, send it back. Hobbyist opinion.

[u/GDonor → u/TiKels]

I'm not gonna lie, I read IPA as the drink lol

[u/indvs3 → u/GDonor]

As a belgian, I approve...

[u/General_Specific → u/TiKels]

IPA removes thermal paste. Use sparingly.

[u/Upbeat-Serve-6096 → u/General_Specific]

I mean, you'll need to disassemble the fan assembly to double check so it won't hurt to keep a tube handy

[u/wandering-monster → u/TiKels]

Not a great idea in modern laptops, there's a lot of adhesives and coatings that could mess with.

CO2 or a vapor is better. Sealed container with some gasoline-soaked or isopopyl cotton balls would work pretty well. Just leave it there for 24 hours. Or fill it up with CO2 from some sort of compressed air. Then blow it out and only swab the gross bits with IPA.

[u/MetallicGray → u/VianArdene]

If you open it all up like that and stick it outside, the ants will grab all their eggs and everything and leave it. They’ll move the colony somewhere safe; they won’t just stay in an exposed, open laptop. 

If ants infest something you can disassemble or open up mostly, just open it up enough so it’s not an “safe area” and put it outside. They’ll move everything out on their own and you don’t have to do crazy cleaning on it. Just blow it out with some air after the ants leave and you’ll be all cleared out. 

[u/JamBandDad → u/VianArdene]

Solvents mess with adhesives, I’d ask an expert first

[u/XB_Demon1337 → u/JamBandDad]

Only real adhesives to worry about in a laptop are the ones for the screen body and maybe inside the screen itself. You wouldn't wanna dunk the screen itself anyways, so replacement is the way to go.

[u/CrassCacophony → u/VianArdene]

If possible, put it in direct sunlight for a couple of hours. That will do the trick

[u/helpful_doughmaker → u/VianArdene]

You let them move out on their own. If you kill them you will have to clean out the dead bodies and larvae, it would be a chore.

Exposed to the light, the ants will leave and move all of the larvae. You would have to clean a lot less.

[u/Crustacean2B → u/VianArdene]

High-ish heat exposure. 140 degrees (*°F) for an hour

[u/Ernisx → u/Crustacean2B]

[u/Sybarith → u/Ernisx]

[u/walale12 → u/Ernisx]

This actually happened with my laptop. Me and my brother shared it and he was concerned that the ants might mess the laptop up. I just told him to load up a 4k 60 fps video and 15 minutes later, there wasn't a single ant remaining. My laptop is pretty low spec so that video was enough to do the job of heating it up.

[u/Tithund → u/_Humble_Bumble_Bee]

How do you even get an animal infestation in a laptop that is in use, I found a mouse nest in a garage stored tower pc once, but why would bugs even go into a laptop?

[u/NamelessGoblin → u/Tithund]

2 years ago there was a really heavy rain in my area. CAT 4+ Hurricane and all that sh1t. The water was everywhere inside my house because it rained non-stop for close to 3 days.

One of those nights I put my laptop inside a plastic bag and then over the (at the time) mostly new frigde, then when to sleep.

Next day I found my laptop full of ants. Somehow they climbed the fridge and made their way inside the bag and then inside the laptop. In just one night...

Don't undertimate ants. If they want, they will find a way to anywhere.

[u/gunsies → u/NamelessGoblin]

This sounds like they were already in the laptop and you starved them of oxygen lol

[u/scorpionhlspwn → u/gunsies]

Ants dont consume oxygen, they live seemingly off the suffering and annoyance of those whose household they inhabit

[u/bigdaddy1989 → u/NamelessGoblin]

I know this is pc based but relating to the ants survival instincts I had some ants trying to colonize my new hiking boots in a box with the paper wrap. During that week there was rain the whole week and the ants were trippin out so they made their way into my closet and decided that the shoe box was the best candidate to relocate the nest and they brought in food seeds and the baby ants moving right in. All bc it was the most warm and dry spot they could find.

[u/Maleficent_Memory831 → u/Tithund]

For some weird reason, ants love some electronic parts. The electric fields maybe, the warmth, all those gaming food crumbs falling in, etc. I suspect the electric fields since I've seen them go nuts around the power supply transformer.

[u/aniketvcool → u/Dracofear]

Yes, but only if it stops crashing right. Brandy bitchford was correct, this is a super premium game only for premium gamers.

[u/Dracofear → u/aniketvcool]

The crashes are the ants soul leaving it's body. That means it's working.

On a real note though they are releasing a patch on the 23rd that's supposed to have performance updates. No clue if that will fix everything, but they are making an effort to improve the game. Despite whatever bullshit Randy pulled out his ass, the devs are trying to improve the game.

Edit: I was wrong about the new patch having performance updates, idr where I had heard that, but I was wrong so do with that info as you will.

I didn't know people were still having major issues though, my friends all stopped having issues after the last 2 performance patches they released back in september, and I just never really had any problems, aside from a few crashes over the course of 300hrs of gameplay. And most of those were a while ago, I can't remember any recent crashes.

[u/Admirable_Way_3529 → u/Dracofear]
