How to get rid of ants from my MacBook Pro

You could seal the macbook in a durable plastic bag, along with ant baits

to see who stumbles out the port openings to grab some fast food snacks.

{ I recommend the type with adhesive to trap them outside, & not re-enter.}

Ultimately, if they've set up shop inside, a service visit may be required to

get their 'homeless' encampment relocated. And if they happen to expire

whilst inside (or get fumigated) all the more reason for an Apple authorized

service provider to peek inside and move the furniture to be certain there

are no other lost stragglers lurking about.

You could see if you are up to a 'take-apart' to attempt to dislodge them:

Debris/food may be stuck in the keyboard, so that may be hard to clear out.

While I did a preliminary search a few ideas appeared; they appear here:

In any event...

Good luck & happy trails! 🙂

I had this problem earlier this year.

I figured it was probably food crumbs and they would eventually carry it away and leave.

But it turns out they actually have a taste for the soft spring rubber under the keys 😕.

Little buggers completely ate it away under the space bar.

bless em.
