    The trick is to send a spider in after it, then a frog after the spider, heron after the frog, etc.

    Ugh I hate when people post a photo of their monitor rather than post a screenshot.

      Monitors aren’t too difficult to disassemble. Most of them use screws and molded plastic clips. Plastic clips can be the most difficult part for people to manage as they can be extremely easy to break off.

      It just takes practice to open up plastic cases. Having a few guitar picks or a good spudger is a huge plus.

      If you happen to have a $400+ monitor you need to repair, it’s probably worth your time to get a broken $10 one to practice on first.

    I kinda had the same thing happen with a small moth. I took the panel apart and was able to clean it and reassemble it without breaking it… might be an option for you

    I recently bought a new TV that came with a dead ant inside the screen. Thankfully, BestBuy is pretty good about returns and I had noticed it right away, so I brought it back the next day for an exchange. In the time it took me to pick out a replacement, they had wrapped the first one in multiple layers of plastic and labeled it as “infested”.

      I’m sure enough people bring in electronics filled with roaches or bed bugs that they no longer take any chance when they see even one bug.

    If it simply died (and didn’t squish it like I did on mine) you can get something with a small suction cup (about an inch in diameter), place it over the area with the gnat, and then GENTLY tug to show it to fall down.

    Is it even possible to get it out without taking it apart?
