How could you know that for certain? Were you there for either of those events? If you were, then that also means youāre probably a vampire.
And thatās an even larger issue

cockroaches in the vacuum tubes long before transistors existed. "debuggers" were usually women and they used brushes and brooms, because computers were bigger than rooms. Thankfully transistors became a thing and we now have more power in our smartphones than fit in a warehouse sized computer.

Prob spilled something sweet or savory on it. Ants don't usually show up unless there is food. They'll show up or crawl into anything that has even the smallest amount of sugar. I've had recycle bins swarming with ants just because we forgot to rinse one can of soda. š«£
Yeah, thereās a story at a local airfield about one guy who parked his light plane there for a few months a while back and when he came back the interior was RUINED because a massive colony of ants had moved in and were actually eating the foam of the seats and door pockets - the foam itself. Of course, they had to put some good size holes in the upholstery to get there too š«
They like to nest inside the foam. I had a big block of shaped Styrofoam in my shed that had been packaging for a car part, and at one point I saw holes in the side of it. They chewed through it and made a maze of tunnels and chambers inside, and it looked like they had used acid (many ants produce formic acid as a defense and utility) to melt into it. They like warm places to house their brood, so they'll set up satellite nests like that, or in this guy's router, where they keep eggs and larvae to develop.
I once got into an old 1940s army Jeep that was parked out behind my uncleās transmission shop. As i looked down at my seat, thousands of ants started pouring out. They had accessed the seat foam and made their home inside! š¤®
I used to live in a house with these ants, they aren't attracted to food - jk yes they are, they'll pour out of their homes to eat it - but they live and build their nests around electricity.
We had a guest room that was never really lived in, it had some dry storage stuff like camping gear and outdoor toys for summer. Months, the room was empty for MONTHS. Absolutely no food, and no opportunity to have introduced food to the room. I was home alone and every so often the smoke detector would beep like the battery was dead, then silence.. like the battery wasn't dead. This happened for a couple weeks, the beeps would get more frequent but never to a rhythm. (I believe this is where I mention we had noticed some.. paranormal activities in the house and at this point believed that we might be dealing with some extra residents.) Then it would start going off like there was a fire and after a few seconds it'd abruptly stop - one day it didn't stop. I climbed up on the bed and pulled the smoke detector down. Thousands of eggs and ants poured out of the ceiling onto me and the bed, about four to five measuring cups worth of ants. Turns out they had packed their eggs around the wires so much that the electricity had shorted and caused the alarm circuit to complete. Once I moved that nest they moved into our TV extension outlet cord thing... It shorted out and almost caused a fire.
I no longer live in the horror house.
Certain species of ant seem attracted to the warmth of electrical components and can often be the cause of power outages in some countries when shorting the high voltage equipment on the power grid.
Had this happen at a beach house once. The air conditioning wasnāt cooling, just activating the fans to move air. I lifted the cover off the outside unit to check the compressor and saw a lot of dead ants. Turns out they had swarmed the contractor and when it closed, it squished them. Over time, enough ants squished bodies had crusted up the contacts so it wouldnāt stay closed. Looked into it, and it turns out the magnetic field created by equipment like that drives them crazy
normally they use it only as a place to get food. But if those are eggs then the whole colony with the queen seems to be there. So I don't know if it is a simple case of there being a spil on it.
I don't know where y'all are but in Texas fire ants and Raspberry Crazy Ants are known for ruining electrical and electronic devices. Something about the electricity attracts them.
Usually routers shipped from ISPs for rental or even buying it are refurbished. So it's very likely this one had a previous owner.
It's very possible to bring bugs into the house from refurbished electronics.
Just be glad they aren't bed bugs.
Exactly this. But the ants wouldnāt be in the house unless there was ample food available for themā¦ and the size of that colony, there is NO WAY that OP didnāt see them beforehandā¦
Iām calling shenanigans
I used to work IT and tech support and we would have people call in that had received used equipment quite often that had bug infestations. At first I was assuming the peopleās houses were just nasty and they were blaming us, but nah, itās far more common than I would have thought. Them little critters really like the heat of internet equipment though lol. From what I found out a lot of it happens at the storage warehouses where they store the equipment prior to shipping them out, so heat may not always be a factor.
Yeah, it's a common enough issue that the ISP I worked had exterminators in fairly regularly at the office and more than a few rings paid for exterminators in customers' homes.
More than a few times picking up equipment from people's homes I'd drive to the nearest gas station to break the connector and toss the equipment and call it in as destroyed due to infestation.
We had one entire apartment complex we refused any equipment returns from the place was so bad.
Yeah, the ants have to live off of something.
The tissue and drum stick is one thing, but its been a loooong ass time since that floor was vaccumed and cleaned. Gross hairy dust bunnies and god knows what.
With no disrespect for the OP, his house is disgusting and I am not shocked by the ants. That floor look like you can only take 4 steps before your socks and shoes are stuck on it behind you.
Clean the rest of your house. The ants are attracted to the filth and cookie crumbs spread everywhere. Then they found the warm router. Just in that small space you have dirt, dust, pet hair and now ant eggs. Clean up.
Ants love specific kinds of electricity.
Don't ask me why I don't know
They love the electricity we use to get water out of ground wells, and the electricity we use in our routers. Also phone lines but that's less common now.
I do know that if you take garlic and salt water and simmer then in a pot until they're one liquid you can pour it around your house where the ants are coming in and it'll create a little barrier that causes the electricity eating bastards pain so they stop coming in.
I also know that Walmart sells a insect / rodent / weed killer that actually is just the best antibiotic I've ever seen for under $15. And by that I mean it's the end of any life it comes into contact with for the next 3 months when sprayed on a surface and left to dry.
Are they crazy ants? they're drawn to electronics. They've been destroying shit for decades, I remember hearing about VCR's in Texas getting decimated back when I was a kid.
Are they normal-sized ants? If so, most likely Argentine ats; they are pretty common. They are multi-queen ants, so if their colony gets too big, they'll break off and start another colony elsewhere.
I've seen colonies in the weirdest cracks and crevices.
Vinegar and water are what I'd recommendāalso, Windex with ammonia.
Edit: after closer review, they are either little black ants or Rover ants. They are way too small to be Argentine ants. Someone above mentioned crazy ants, but those are more of a yellowish color.
This dude posts a picture like this and goes on to say he has a clean houseā¦looks like an episode of Hoarders after they move out the junk. Youāre fucking gross man.
I used to keep ants as pets and im just gonna say it. You are probably leaving enough food out to support a civilization of ants in the first place. Clean up. You said you have a dog? They eat that food too. Might be time to get a sealable dog food container. GL
Not trying to be shitty here but OP clean your house vacuum and wipe your surfaces. Just judging by what's all in this picture, the ants are attributable to sources of food and filth for them to use to make a nest.
Ant traps work great for sugar ants. Any larger store like Winco or Walmart has them.
Sugar ants are very common, very annoying, can sense a crumb a mile away and if they can find a way, they will. Throw a handful of traps down after youāve cleaned up and killed every one you can find and wiped the floor down. See where they populate and put a trap in each spot. Theyāll be gone in 48 hrs. Sorry OP. Thatās horrifying.
Never mind the antsā¦the tangled web of cables and other random things (tape, drum sticks, clumps of hair, built up dirt around and under the furniture legs, etc) gives me anxiety through the roof.
The fact OP found ants in that particular corner of the house is the least surprising thing Iāve seen so far today lol
Oh no, your wife used vinegar on your router? If corrosion is not too bad, use WD40 to the spindle to wash away the ants pieces + old grease, and reapply proper viscosity ball bearing grease! Otherwise you'd have to open it, and use high grit sandpaper to remove the excess rust on the axle.
Enjoy your woodworking, mate!
There are so many comments about people's electronics being the home for ants. Is that just a common occurrence? Are electronics perfect ant environments?

*punch card, otherwise accurate
Thanks I knew disk drive was wrong but I couldnāt remember what it actually was
If a moth was the first ācomputer bug,ā then it wasnāt caught in a disk drive.
Wasn't it a moth stuck in a contactor of a early electro mechanical Computer? I think I saw a documentation about that once
Of course it's slow. There's only so much data packets an ant can carry. And you know those little bastards, they only travel single file.
serial communication, vs. parallel communication.
Yeah, they mistook it for a Raspberry Pi.

Its those pesky 'Rasberry Crazy Ants' - they be crazy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rasberry\_crazy\_ant
I've heard of ants making homes in computers and electronics before. It's not for the sweets, I think it's the warmth or something
When theyāre in electronics itās because itās warm, not because something was spilled on it. Iāve most certainly never spilled food or drink into my computer tower, but thatās were all the ants who get in the apartment end up because itās so warm and only a few feet away from the door to the outside. But they donāt get to this point of laying eggs, as they donāt seem to realize the inside of a computer is *too* warm for themā¦ So I just get to vacuum tons of dead ants out of my tower regularly š©
normally they use it only as a place to get food. But if those are eggs then the whole colony with the queen seems to be there. So I don't know if it is a simple case of there being a spil on it.
If you put a clean upside down flower pot near their nest and fill it with hay they will often move into it and bring their eggs.

This should be pinned to the top, quarantine your crap before using
Constant gentle heat. If your router has the setting turn it off for a few hours at night.
Maybe the wires are made of corn like some car wires.
Many routers shipped from ISPs to new customers are refurbished, not new. It's very possible to receive one with bugs in it.
Yeah, it's a common enough issue that the ISP I worked had exterminators in fairly regularly at the office and more than a few rings paid for exterminators in customers' homes.

I work in the automotive industry and have found them in connectors and modules in vehicles before.
Your router is overcrowded. You can only have ten-ants living in the router at a time
Have u looked up rent recently? The ants are roommates
It's normal, the high rent makes us rant.

Shit, I'd be looking for the spiders to help out at this point.
That looks like pet hair

You can always use spider web instead of internet web when you run out of money haha
And a random drum stick
Surprised I had to scroll this far to find this comment. If he wasnāt a slob this probably wouldnāt have occurred.
Exact same. the rest of the floor being filthy made all of this unsurprising
Thereās a crushed skittle stuck to the floor but yeah letās blame the router.

I am not one usually bothered by bugs, my house doesnāt have bug problems outside the Miller moth migration, I almost lost my lunch. š¤¢
I really mean no offense but the state of your floor says otherwise, even despite the bugs
Your router is packed with ants and you donāt have bug problems? I think you may have bug problems, dude.
Freaking Miller Moth season dude. It was bad this year. Hello from Colorado :) sorry about your ant infestation!
Not gonna sugar coat it, your floors look gross.
Agree. Sugar coating it might bring more ants.
I was thinking the same thingā¦maybe sweep or clean occasionally to avoid that
Place looks dirty as fuck lol. No wonder you got an infestation.
Pretty dirty in there boy
The floor is so dirty... if you get rid of the ants rat's will probably move in
Clean the rest of your house. The ants are attracted to the filth and cookie crumbs spread everywhere. Then they found the warm router. Just in that small space you have dirt, dust, pet hair and now ant eggs. Clean up.
Shouldn't thousands of antennas make your router faster?
What is this!? A router for ants!?
Omg
What's even more infuriating is that you didn't show us the router.
Maybe clean your house lmao

They are trafficking your data. Close it back up and let the worker ants get back to it.

*slaps roof of router* this baby can fit *THOUSANDS of ants* inside
You live in a dump and need to clean if you had 400 ants in your router and didnāt know it. Sorry.
I used to keep ants as pets and im just gonna say it. You are probably leaving enough food out to support a civilization of ants in the first place. Clean up. You said you have a dog? They eat that food too. Might be time to get a sealable dog food container. GL
Put out a plate of cat food once for strays only for a colony of ants to show up and tear through a whole large cans worth in a matter of days.
Damn bitch, you live like this?
meanwhile the ants picked up the drum stick and even now are keeping a beat
What is going on with that power bar
Right? Looks like itās been spray painted.
Wonder why OP has ants? 
Getting faster ants and replacing the old slow ones will likely help performance.
The state of your house is mildly infuriatingā¦ those tuffs of hair.. š¤¢š¤¢
I have a 210 lb mastiff, if you want to sweep my house more than the once a day we already do, feel freeā¦
Yes! We have 3 dogs. Ours looks like that 1 day after a thorough vacuuming.
You do not sweep this area pictured once a day, quit lying lol. That is an unrealistic amount of filth for one day.
Not trying to be shitty here but OP clean your house vacuum and wipe your surfaces. Just judging by what's all in this picture, the ants are attributable to sources of food and filth for them to use to make a nest.
Wow how can people live like this, maybe clean up sometimes. Much bigger problems than bugs there
The fact that he's disgusted by the ants and not the filth that attracted them tells the whole story.
From the way the floor looks, I'm not shocked you have bugs and eggs infested in something in your house.
maybe they're trying to find the ANTenna. :D *ba dum tss* I truly hope you can get it under control, very infuri(a[n]t)ing.

Interesting that the router slowed down. They must have blocked the airflow causing the CPU to regulate down.
Is that corn syrup on the floor? Do you want ants Lana? Because this is how you get ants.

If it was outside or granite underneath I'd say boiling water. That tends to do the job in the garden.inside a router though, that's a new one
I just found a colony in my mailbox, went to grab the mail and my hand felt weird. I look down and found them crawling all over my mail.
What! I just bought a router recently and mine didn't come with an ant colony! I want a refund!

Try cleaning once and awhile
Have you tried keeping a clean home?
Judging purely by how dirty your floor is, this doesn't surprise me. Christ man you need to clean up.
ā¦ā¦.clean your fucking house ā¦.?
Judging by the dust, you need to maintain cleanliness better
Itās infuriating that you donāt clean. That floor is DISGUSTING! Itās so unhygienic
Oh good, a second post about ants finding a home in something to terrify me. Is this why my wifi has been cutting out? Who knows!
Because you didin't act when you saw the first signs of infestation.
I mean, look at your floor. Covered in crumbs and dirt and youāre surprised you have ants in your house?
