    Seems like you eat while you are using the laptop and the crumbs have fallen into the keyboard. Get some canned air and blow everything out of it and see if that helps. Wipe down the keys with a cotton pad and alcohol to remove any type of residue.

    I had this problem during the summer.

    I solved it by filling the bath with hot water, adding a mixture of bleach and paraffin, and immersing my laptop in it.

    It didn't work afterwards, but it did get rid of the ants.

    Seal it in a plastic bag from which you have ejected as much air as possible. After a few days, the buggers will have suffocated......maybe..
