Windows 10: Ants destroyed Laptop's internal keyboard

Sir, I am using Windows 10 PC. But, wherever I put my laptop, ants attack my internal keyboard. They just cut the rubber layer under the keys, after that some of the keys doesn't work anymore. My keyboard was badly autotyping. Because of the ants, I have ordered two new keyboards in the last three months. No covers can protect them. I have changed the location but no difference was made. Also, I never eat around my laptop. Please suggest me how can I get rid of them. Because I am devastated right now.
