github95646y@Stuxnet yup. Karma strikes hard. First day after MS acquisition and hard time already started..
-
github95646y@Haxk20 it's a damn new monitor. And I have a great history of opening up things forever, without putting it back. So, not a good idea.
-
Ive had the issue before. Put a teaspoon of sugar on a plate next to the monitor, other ants will find it and release pheromones which will attract that one to the sugar and lure it out.
-
github95646y@Haxk20 I have to live rest of my life with an ant.
*Poor soul*
Status changed from single to in relationship with an ant. -
github95646y@InterferenceObj Will try it out. I hope more ants don't come to take sugar and then go inside the monitor.
-
Or just let it be there. Ants work in coordination, maybe it coild help you track other bugs
-
github95646y@j4cobgarby I don't know. May be Ant-sshing. I have to spend this weekend debugging it and hopefully I can resolve it before escalating to some expertee.
-
cursee171646yPlace it on a small table.
Surround it with ant bait like sugar or any sweet things ant like.
Do something to prevent other ants coming for the bait. Either surround the bait with salt or water. Or place table legs inside water cups. Etc.
Wait till the ant come out to the bait.
🤔 Good luck -
If you wan't to kill the ant, just try a hair dryer.
I mean JerryRigEverything used to test Smartphones with a lighter and they still worked afterwards. (But don't do that to a monitor because of the plastic coverage.) -
If it got itself in, it will get itself out. Leave a cookie or something next to the moniter and see if it manages to get to it.

PaperBag8666yDon't kill the ant! She might be like King Solomon's bee... Let her live and she'll show you where are the bugs in your code.
-
Put a little sugar water below the monitor. Maybe the ant will pick up its scent and walk towards it?
-
There is a bug in your workspace really 😂😂😅
I suggest you should debug your monitor. -
@github I've got similar issue few years ago - a little flies get beetween lcd and front layer of screen. You can try to take off screen cover (plastic only) and set a bright light lamp which points to matrics from left / right side and leave it on 1 or 2h. It should help :)
My 'little zoo' unfortunately died from the heat and I've got few 'dead pixels' now :D -
github95646yThanks everyone for tons of solutions.
I haven't seen the ANT recently anymore.
To curious ones who wants to what I did to resolve it....
TURNED MONITOR OFF AND TURNED IT ON NEXT DAY
It worked. -
xewl41726y@github glad my solution has worked for you.
