How to get ants out of my Piano?

Ok, long story short, due to examinations, i havent touch my piano in like 3 weeks. The other day, i started playing it only to find a nest of this little asses living in between the keys. When i start playing they start coming out from the gaps and running around the keys. I thought if i just continued playing while simultaneously crushing their home and children all of them would eventually get the message and clear out. However,its been 2 days sinceand they are still there.

This is really annoying me. If any of you have similar problems please share how to get rid of it.

You should probably go with bug spray. Start with removing the keys, if you can, or else you may not get all of them. Then just get some cleaning stuff to take care of the poison and its smell after its job is done. I can't really think of any other way.SeraphimGoddess

Oh man i was hoping i dont have to resort to that. It would be alot of work and the piano is pretty new. :(

That is so messed up....the closest thing I've had to that is ants in the computer keyboard. Bug spray is probably the only way. In future, make sure you wash your hands before playing, and don't eat or drink around the piano.kdawg88

I dont even do those around my piano. Its just that my 3 weeks of absence probably made those ants feel that the pianowould makea nice comfy home. :(

Sprays and poisons, which I've already recommended, bait traps, which are mostly meant for stopping them from spreading or even showing up in the first place, and fire, which I'm sure I don't have to say why that's a bad idea, are the only methods I know of. I believe they have powdered forms of poison, but that would get messy in your piano.

I was hoping there would be some kind of dry method to drive them out of the gaps. Theni can kill them physically when they are out in the open. I might have to consult an exterminator if worse comes to worse.

I appreciate the suggestions.

Appreciate the reply people, but i forgot to mention its an electric piano, so im hesitant to even use bug spray. I'll probably try the vacuum suggestion out.

Im a very clean person around my piano. I even wash my hands everytime i play it, those bastard ants are just messing with me.

Become friends with the ants, live on the piano. Then learn their ways and persuade them to leave.... Ahhh... Avatants.

Soap water will also kill them.Pessu

This has actually worked for me too, but ut has to be dove dishwashing soap

Light the piano a blaze!
