No mention of how to remove them but I saw reference to the critters having proper name thysanoptera that are for some reason ,unknown as yet, attracted in there.

anything small enough to crawl in,will.

its warm, usualy dry and the humanity around provides ample food and blood to suk on.

I assume LCD screens have to be open to the air because of atmospheric pressure variation. So, why not sealed but with a small filtered air inlet/oulet like hard disks ?

I wonder if it might be the wavelength of light from the tubes that attract them?
