The ants are inside my computer and they are up to no good. Ant infestation

I am currently in the jungles of Mexico and when I approached my computer today there were ALOT of little red bitey ants climbing in and out of the keyboard and around the computer. Side note: there has been no food nor drink near this computer and I think they are simply attracted to the heat/ electrical emissions. I've seen them attacking televisions before. I freaked out and squished some of them and then sprayed some ant repellent at the computer but then thought better of that because I thought it might damage something. I went to a store and bought a can of compressed air and went to work. Compressed air is really cold and instead of shooting them out of their new home I think it just made them momentarily freeze up or hibernate or something. When I took the battery out there were dozens more there and they went and hid in the crevices. They are still in there somewhere but now they know I'm after them. Occasionally one of them comes out and meets my wrath but I'm worried that they are up to no good in there and eating wires and laying eggs and plotting against me. Stupid ants. Any suggestions that don't cause more damage than the ants are possibly causing?
I'm hoping these ants aren't related to this story: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/usandamericas/article3941545.ece
