Hi,
Im having MacBook Air 2015. Few days ago I've found ants on my keyboard. They've also entered thru my headphone jack. Im a lot worried about it. Ive tried mid vacuuming it, used MacBook with charger (which produced heat). 70% of the ants are removed. But still 30% are there. Does it damage my MacBook? Will I get any support if I go to Apple care? Please help me fixing this issue. What should I do next?

Try putting a bait trap nearby to draw out the other ants. Ants exude a substance that can easily damage electronics.
Make an appointment at the Apple Genius Bar for service, ASAP, after the stores re-open. If you need to find an Apple Store - Find a Store - Apple. Also, see How to find your nearest Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) or Distributor (AAD). You may also get Apple authorized service at a local Best Buy or contact Apple Support for more options.

I think you'll be okay! If you feel comfortable opening your MacBook, do that and use compressed air to blow them out.
If you don't know how to do that or don't feel comfortable you can put you computer up on some drinking glasses (carefully!) this will make the ants feel uncomfortable and want to leave. put a utensil from the laptop to the table so there's a way for the ants to get out.
Ants!!! In my Macbook
