Youtuber found a bunch of ants living inside his gaming controller

RyanUkAus, a Youtuber and Twitch streamer from Australia, shared the video last month after deciding to tidy up one of his desks.

When he was vacuuming around the desk, Ryan noticed an unexpected sight: An explosion of ants coming from his Dreamcast gaming controller.

Hen then documented this horrifying sight and shared it with his audience.

Before spotting something more scary, he tried to vacuum up some of the ants to address the situation but soon realized that this thing was much more than he thought.

He later opened up the controller to investigate further.

To his astonishment, Ryan discovered an entire colony of ants crawling around inside the controller. 

Remarkably, it was not just regular ants; there were also winged bugs present.

Ryan speculated that something sugary might have attracted the ants to the controller, which he had received as part of a bundle from Japan years ago.

Ryan placed the controller in a box alongside some leaves. He watched as the bugs began moving their eggs away from the controller, and then took it away for cleaning.

While the memory card slots of the remote had become egg storage for the ants, Ryan managed to clean up the shell and buttons.

He left the ants to work through the night on the circuit board. By morning, the controller was nearly spotless, and Ryan was relieved to find that it still worked without any issues.

I'm imagining that I'm playing Sonic Adventure 2 and a bunch of ants start crawling out of that controller, one user said.

After watching this clip I had to check every gaming controller in my house, it's so disgusting!!! A second person wrote.

OMG...I need to check mine too, exclaimed a third.

Someone eavesdropped on you through the controller, someone joked.
