It will certainly make Pong sessions more interesting. Seriously though, try some compressed air in a can and see what that does. You could also leave a bowl of sugar at the bottom of the monitor to see if that will lure him out, just kidding.

No way for a bug to be inside a CRT. I doubt he has an old school 80s anti glare screen velcrod on the front of the monitor. :lol:

Even with an LCD that's odd that there's enough of a gap between the screen and protective layer though. You might be able to open up the monitor and carefully blow it out if the protective layer is movable.

You haven't been watching any funny videos have you?

Well if you can't get it out, hopefully it will just die and somehow fall out. Can't think there would be much for an ant to eat inside of a monitor.
