I have sugar ants inside my monitor, between the glass and the display

Well, we have sugar ants in our house (which we’re used to, there are not a ton of them, they show up when the weather or rain patterns change) but for the first time in 20 years I have a serious problem with them. One was inside my 2017 5K iMac last week and it crawled around until it died. I just noticed a second one roaming around. If this was my older iMac, I would just take the screen glass off with suction cups.

Is it worth taking the display apart?

I doubt it is a large scale infestation…I think they are just a couple of scouts.
