I've noticed ants are using my monitor as a hiding spot, even though I keep my desk as a no-food zone. With the rainy season here, they seem to have decided to invade. This is the second day I'm dealing with this issue, and I've already sprayed some alcohol around the sides of the monitor. What are the best ways to get rid of these ants?

If you have compressed air, you might try using that to blast them out! But really, no more alcohol—it's not a good idea to spray it at them.
Stop spraying alcohol inside your monitor. Instead, find where they’re coming from and eliminate that access. For now, attract them away from the monitor, and keep everything clean!
A good trick is to mix equal parts of baking soda or borax with powdered sugar and leave little piles for them. The sugar attracts them, and the baking soda helps deal with them effectively!
Using ant traps can also be beneficial. Place them around the monitor on the floor, where you see them walking. Wipe your desk down with bleach to eliminate any scents that might attract them.
Instead of trapping them inside, you should focus on getting them out of your monitor. Keep the area clean and try to find their entry path to block it off. Just spraying them may not be effective!
Yes, exactly! Just wiping down surfaces and keeping them clear can really help stop them from coming back.
