midges or wot

[tamborine]

I've got black flying midges rising from my keyboard and my fingers are bitten & itchy.

How can I rid them ? The midges ofcourse !

Errr that's not nice! Bin the keyboard and get another, Must have so much dirt and germs inside it the Flys have nested and are hatching in there.

Its a lappy & the keyboard must be warm.....I need some sort of repellant, any ideas ?

Midges don't come from flies, for heaven's sake.
If you have no antibacterial wipes handy, dilute bleach in warm water.
Soak a clean cloth and wring out till it is almost dry.
Turn off laptop, diconnect from mains and remove battery.
Turn upside down and shake vigorously.
Turn right side up and wipe keyboard with damp cloth.

If that doesn't solve it, take a photo of your keyboard and print it out. Really.
Ping all the keys off and clear all the muck out without getting it wet.
Put the keys back on following your print out.

Get a can of compressed air and use regularly to blow the gunge out of the keyboard.

Boo, I clicked on the 'filter for Henry vacuum' and found that that costs £14.99. Go figure.

Dipped a brush in ant powder & swept keyboard.

Blew & swept surplus = no more midges. ****** 6stars :)

I have tired fingers often.What to do:take a pen/pencil/some similar thing.Have it kept by the 4 small fingers,surrounded by them.The down point of the pen must press keyboard buttons instead of fingers now.Luck !
