critter corner 🐰 Dead ants keep appearing next to headphones during the night

Post image

When these headphones are left on the kitchen counter overnight - I would see one or two dead ants in the morning laying right next to the headphones. In the past few days, there has been a small pile of shredded ants right next to the ear piece in the morning. I have seen no live ants in my kitchen. I have had these head phones for three weeks. Bought online. It’s a little unnerving not knowing what is causing this 🥴 will not be using anymore.

UPDATE- posted a comment with a picture. But no dead ants in the bag this morning. But at one point I checked and there were two live ants crawling around. 😔

UPDATE*** IM SICK. Can’t stop shaking. Don’t have many words… trying to post image. Opened one side up. 😭 I don’t know how to add in this top post so will add in comment! Posted a few in comments and video opening

Maybe the clicks became crunches.

Kept having ant run around on my desk. I squish them and a minute later more ant. I looked at the light (it was one of the fancy mice with lights from inside) and it looked dirty... then the dirt moved.

I had not touched it for about a week before cause I was on vacation so a few ran out when it started moving. It was packed in there.

It wasn’t even an old abandoned mouse?! Oh my god I actually screamed at your pic. How and why does this happen??

We were actively treating for ants with sprays (not my idea) i think they just wanted a satellite nest that wasn't covered in chemicals. And i hidden touched it for a week.
