Title: How to stop REAL bugs crawling on my screen?
Post by: Jammy on April 03, 2010, 17:26:58: Hey, since getting my new monitor I've constantly had to whack bugs off it with a cloth or piece of paper, this is the first time this has happened to me, it never happened on my old LCD monitor or my current television.

I tried Googling, but all I got were computer bug infections, viruses, etc. No I mean real bugs! Not pixel ones.

So all I'm asking is does anyone have their methods for preventing bugs from being attracted to their monitors? As I'm getting tired of having to whack them off.

Post by: captain mcenzi on April 03, 2010, 20:29:22: I know a bit about insects, could you post a picture of the insect on your screen? if so, I COULD look up the insect and find what attracts that speceis.
maybe moths, a small speices. or midges, these are commonly attracted to static electricety, and like many insects, lights.

Post by: McGherkin on April 06, 2010, 13:46:36: I used to get bugs on my old laptop screen, tiny mites I think.

They weren't there very often but it was quite annoying when a speck of dirt suddenly gets up, starts walking around and reading what I'm typing. :o Must be a new military technique of gathering intelligence - tiny robobugs.

try puttting a little bit of Dettol onto a cloth and cleaning your screen with it.

Try having another lamp somewhere, preferably with a wavelength most attractive to bugs.

Well it'll be an excuse to finally have the lightbulb in my lamp replaced.

You know I've always wanted one of those! Maybe I should finally buy one, especially now summer is on its way. :)

No I'm not using anything to clean my computer monitor, was cleaning my television and the marks left were irritating! I had to use saliva just to get them off as I was too afraid to use tap water, wasn't pleasant...

Thanks for the posts guys, sorry for the late reply but I completely forgot about this post until I found another bug! xD
