Ants I could live with. I have two spiders inside my big screen. They have been there for weeks and every so often they dicide to walk across the screen. I thought I was imagining things or it was on the tv station but today the little bugger showed up while my husband and I were watching tv. One is small but the other better never come out or I am moving.

i can confirm – the RAID strategy worked. i sprayed 3 sides of my laptop’s lcd and the bugger came out to complain 2 minutes later. he’s now 2 dimensional on my fingernail. i named him jimmy.

i have one f**ker like this in my week old lenovo laptop. it comes out for a walk a couple of times a day, camps in the whitest spot on the screen for an hour or so and then goes home to his wife and kids. i’m going to spray the top, bottom and one side of the screen with RAID so that the bugger runs away. i just hope he’ll get the point and escape through the side that isn’t sprayed instead of camping in the middle of the screen until his death.

Okay and I thought I was the only one who had this. Happened on my monitor tonight. I’ve had those little bugs on my monitor before but on the outside the only thing different about tonight was I had my lights off and I had two crawling inside my LCD… talk about annoying.

Only problem is one of the bugs isn’t moving and seems dead! :(

Sounds like an updated equivalent of that old gypsy curse ” May you always have a dead wasp in your double glazing”

Yeah. I figured out a while ago the Cinema display is actually a rear projection screen. a couple things clued me in: it runs way too hot for an LCD, it gets screen burn (not permanant), and the brightness is far brighter than any LCD i’ve ever used.
