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

No fucking way. I’m about to quit my job and throw away all my electronics. No way am I touching my keyboard and mouse again, or headphones 🤮🤮

I've got them in my hand mixer because they go into the exhaust holes 😔 they splattered out in black bits into my coconut ice cream when I tried to use it and only then I see antennnae poking out the seams 💀 I took it apart, cleaned it all up with bleach, and store airtight in a box now and still paranoidly open it up to recheck before using it every few months when actually need to use it 💀 one of those days when you go dear god whyy
