That hackaday article has a great comment at the bottom > One time I had a colony of ants build up inside an APC UPS. Every day, the system would make a little popping sound, then switch to battery inversion for about two seconds, then switch back to mains. For the longest time I was baffled. > Then one day I noticed some ants making a trail and investigated. It was crazy how many ants were living inside it. Apparently, every once in a while an ant would come too close to crossing the AC wires and the power would short through it, killing the ant instantly and causing the protection circuit to put it on battery. > I find myself wondering if a similar ant infestation would destroy the RasPi.
