...put some more sugar water?

...

bake it, your tablet can survive 100c, I dont think ants can

heh heh, get out there you sillys

Actually not a bad idea.

>How do i do thing?
>I did this and it worked

I don't have an oven, can I microvave?

burn that shit and buy a new kindle for cheap. Or, dip your kindle in a non conductive liquid.

Do this op
Water boils at 100c so to get a constant temperature just dunk it in some boiling water for 5 minutes

no
this isn't a bad idea

I just wanna make sure they're all out

cause they keep coming out and its been like 15 minutes and I still see new ones

What types of liquid is non conductive

Baby oil bath might work. But just shaking it every few minutes for an hour would be easier. Ants don't stick around when shit gets moving.

Water
assuming no impurities get in it.

mineral oil is one, I have no fucking clue if you can even drown ants though. It might be one of those gay things where their air holes are too small allowing them to form air bubbles to breathe from. However I am a fucking retard who doesn't know a thing about ants. IDK try it and report back if its funny.

Only if you have fast charging enabled

You know what, go ahead and boil the Kindle

this actually, get distilled water or superpure water.

get a helium tank and suffocate them. just shake it like an etch-a-sketch and they'll all fall out.

water bridge

On second thought, the baby oil might fuck up the screen so don't do that. Back to the shaking, do you have access to a vibrator? Just tape that to your Kindle and leave it on for 15 minutes. And post pics/webm plz.

can of air maybe? I wouldn't put any liquids in it unless you have to, desu. what the fuck did you do, OP

Do you think if I go to the dollar store and ask to use their helium tank for the balloons they'll let me

Sell it to someone else and get a Kobo :^)

I have Poland Spring and Dasani does that work?

I can get Gerber but that shit isn't cheap

Set up a camera and put out sugar water with poison in it (try alcohol) and make a timelapse of it

Leave it in the freezer overnight

But why not just plug it in, turn up screen brightness it whatever other settings Kindles have, and leave it running for a long time? I would think the thing would hit its own upper operating ranges safely and the ants would be driven out.

You would need to leave it in there longer, ants are some resilient fuckers
If you do make sure its completely off and then let is sit in rice for a few hours to make sure the condensation that may have formed on the inside will evaporate

distilled water is literally $0.98 a gallon at my local supermarket, do you live in fucking africa?

actually no, the poland spring will work just find, yeah, use that

I mean, you could put the kindle in a zip lock bag and seal it? The ants would eventually die I suppose.

In a few years maybe
if you have one of those space saver bags that hooks up to a vacuum you could try that

What the fuck, just go to your Walmart and head to the infant area. They'll have purified water with minerals (don't get this one) and distilled water right next to it for a dollar.
They put oxygen in those things so people dont use it for exit masks.

no thatd take a lot longer than youd think

no it wont you morons because impurities will dissolve from the mobo especially with distilled water, though it might not be conductive enough to short those low voltages it might be.


Oil is a good one, then you can safely heat it up as to make the oil less viscous but not damage the battery. or 90c max probs

Doing this and then putting it in a freezer might work.

>i have ants in my kindle i s̶t̶o̶l̶e̶ found somewhere
i want them out
>i feed them

do this
or this

take it out and use a sound frequency that will send them running

well I dunked it in a tub of poland spring with sugar so the ants all came out but now its not turning on

Keep trying before it dries off

I have this fuckers in my external HDD, i applied vacuum, sealed and keep it under the sunlight, but no directly, just to heat it up a little. They died inside, so i get they out.

Remove cover.
Remove ants.
Replace cover.

Id love ot know why they chose the Kindle.

but

Get the pic related OP. like 5$ at lowes for a pack of like 10 of em.

They are amazing and will lead every last one of them to their death in no time.

Its quite impressive actually.

yeah that brand and product works fucking fantastic

i live in a house with concrete slab foundation so its near impossible to get rid of ants but i have a pro come out every 3 months and spray the perimeter and i use baits and good caulking around the house to treat and prevent

those baits are hands down the most effective thing i have found. kinda distressing to see a fuck town of ants marching across a counter top or whatever but thats why i drink, it makes all problems go away for a whie

also those baits are borax and sweetner, it takes a while for it to kill the ants which is good they take the sweet shit home and everyone eats it and in a couple days it disrupts bodily function and the fuckers die. trick is to not let anyone remain otherwise the colony regenerates after a few weeks or months.

This is the most interesting thread I've seen on here in a while.

100% pure isopropyl bath in a sealed contaner outside for 10 - 20 minutes, then wipe it down.

Why do you even have ants in your Kindle in the first place, you disgusting fuck.

This but disassemble the kindle first and remove the screen so you don't damage the LCD

why don't you just leave the ants alone OP? we're not hurting anyone

Call Jim

You don't want your tablet filled with dead ants. So you need to get the ants out. You'll need to dismantle it.

How the fuck do you get a ant colony inside your fucking kindle?

Send it under warranty lol

>Id love ot know why they chose the Kindle.
OP was the biggest queen around.

Buy these

They work great.

OP's keyboard

I was reading some articles yesterday, they are very sensitive to sounds. Maybe you should yell at your Kindle.

someone cap this shit, holy fuck

>buy this
>buy one of those small plastic storage bins
>place kindle at one end
>bait on the other
>seal shut
>wait

ive actually heard of ants in stereos and computers and shit before. It's a dark place with nooks and crannys and for some ants in particular I think the scene of shit is enticing. I'll see if I can find info...

trade them the ants and i'm sure they will

I believe you're actually spot on with you hypothesis about the air bubble shit, i remember watching some youtube video buy antscanada where he intentionally flooded his colony and observed this phenomenon, this was water though.

Holy shit Sup Forums is not trolling. You motherfuckers are finally growing up. :')

what you need is to put it inside a balloon, as you fill it with He, let some air escape, it will be atmosphere, only He will remain, leave it closed till tomorrow and ants should be dead inside,


... i guess if you just sealed it with pvc film you could accomplish the same, idk how long the air pocket insiide would sustain the ants, research that but i doubt they could survive more than a week on 100ml of air

Then you have a computer full of dead ants, which is only slightly better than a computer full of live ones.

Put it in fire--It‘s a kindle after all.

some ant species are also drawn to rhythmic EM pulses. "fire ants" like to make nests inside traffic signal control boxes and the signals themselves in the south eastern USA. They are accredited with a number of traffic light failures.

Same reasons would draw them to older class A amplifier/stereo units, desktop PC's and so on.

then you just open it up and blow it out. live ants are gonna crawl in every crevice to hide. also they shit. ants shit, right?

you should use this opportunity to build an empire.

Honestly just keep up with the sugar water bait and eventually they should all get out. Even if other methods might be faster I feel like some ant corpses will end up stuck inside and that wouldn't make me happy.

Why the fuck don't you just disassemble the fucking thing OP.

Yea they shit. They also eat shit. But not their own. That would be disgusting

Put in ziplock bag
Cut bag around ports
Tape bag to kindle around ports
coat bag around ports with vegtable oil to block ants
Tape bag to ceiling with ports hanging down
Put bucket of water with a bit of soap underneath to catch escaping ants
wait a couple days

good to hear ants have standards

actually, OP shouldn't try to kill the ants inside at all. he should keep luring them out. since he can't disassemble the kindle, it'd be filled with dead ants which could cause hardware issues and is also just gross.

Aim a hot hair dryer at the other end of kindle to lure them out

Won't the dust and ants and shit inside the tablet make the water conductive

>Remove case
>Blow off all ants
>Put case back on.
>What types of liquid is non conductive
Isopropyl alchahol.
Don't know what it'd do to the screen though, but I've let motherboards soak in it for months without issue.

THIS
Isopropyl can fuck with LCD's, I'd hate to know what it'd to to eink.

Sorry, your Kindle is theirs now, you'd best buy a new one.

I don't see anything

Just open it up an use a vacuum clean to get them all out

...

What is 2+2?
I added them together and got 4.

This is almost as good as that time we tried to change a lightbulb.

Can you prove this?

What is this? And ebook reader for ants?

Shoot them with a gun.That'll get those fuckers out.

PUT ON THE HELMET, OP.

shoot yourself for owning a kindle

yeah then there will be dead ants left inside the tablet

Kek

back to neogaf you piece of shit

fucking kek good one m8

pls tell me you didn't actually do this OP

you fucking ruined it

>no fun allowed
fuck you

>6 baitstations
kek

how does this even happen? what would an ant possibly want in there? that's nightmarish

the warmth helps them incubate their eggs
