Invasion of the ANTS!

My laptop is infected....with ANTS! As in super duper many red ants! Last Friday, I brought the company laptop home since I wasn't finished with the QA testing I am doing. By Saturday morning, I left it at the table where I usually leave it when I am not using it. I was not able to use it since then because I was busy preparing for my friend's wedding. Then came Monday night... I pressed the power button of my laptop...booting up...Windows XP came up. I had to go down to the kitchen, but when I went back my brother was shouting..."Ate, nilalanggam yung laptop mo!". There it is...a lot of red ants are swarming in my laptop! Where in the hell did they come from!?! I kept them away from my laptop and I even killed some of them (poor ants :( but I had nothing else to do...). After an hour...No more ants...I thought...but I was wrong. When I looked at the back of my laptop, I saw a lot of ants again. They have formed a long line already. They were coming in and out from an open tunnel in the hinge of the laptop (the one that connects the keyboard part and the LCD). I was deeply thinking how they got in there. I don't think any food crumbs or drinks could get inside that hinge. Oh my God! I don't know what to do! I called my boyfriend, searched the net for information but I can't get anything that would help me. I left it running and when I woke up, they are still there. I had nothing else to do. So I asked our admin assistant to call the company which provides support for the laptops to help me with this problem. Hopefully, they would not void the warranty and get rid of those ants free of charge.

If you have any suggestions on how I can get rid of them, just post a comment. Your suggestions will be highly appreciated. Thanks!
