You better dump the keyboard before they migrate to your PC and screw up your entire PC. There's a chance that they're already inside your PC and it's only a matter of time before you will become PC- and internet-less!

Dump the keyboard or plant an ant trap nearby or something. Ants can seriously mess up a PC, even completly destroy it....

Ants sappin' mah keyboard!

Sorry. But my entire computer is a Dell from... '04? But on the keyboard, the keys are spaced apart and that allows crumbs to accumulate beneath the keys. And I seriously don't know how to clean it out. The ants are pretty uninterested in my computer, because, unlike my keyboard, it isn't full of Frosted Flake crumbs. I've kind of had fun sending them flying with one of those presssurized-air cans that your supposed to use to clean dust off of crap.

Ants usually find a way, it's not like your PC is water proof. They will be determined because of the heat coming from your PC.

You take it apart...clean it out...then you use common sense and basic motor skills to put it back together.

I tried that, but you have to take this apart from the back. And after taking off half a plastic shell, a sheet of metal, and moving some computer stuff aside, I found that the keys have a... tray or something below them, and that the tray and keys cannot be seperated. The keys can't be pulled off, and shaking the crumbs out isn't too effective.

I may have exaggerated by making it a conscious act as opposed to an unfortunate consequence of poor eating habits.

My tech teacher said that you can put a keyboard in the dishwasher and it'll work fine as long as you don't use it when it's wet.

Some species of ants are attracted to electricity. No matter how clean you keep your room they will still come in because of the power circulating through your electronics. (though I'm sure the crumbs don't help)

Regarding Crumbs-

I don't know how my keyboard got so full of crumbs. It's not like I have my face over my keyboard while messily chewing food. And I'm not the only one who uses this computer.

Regarding Dishwasher-

No.

Regarding Fire-

I'm not entirely ready to purge my keyboard with fire yet. But I'd be sure to Youtube it if it ever came to that.
