Bug (insect) inside screen

Hi all, really pee'd off right now, as its summer we have been overrun where i live with these tiny black bugs and one of them has wormed its way into my screen on my laptop and died... so now theres a big black spot (equivalent to about 10 dead pixels clumped together) in the top right...

is there any way to get rid of the little ****?

My friend had this in his monitor. Was so funny when he first saw it, at first we thought a dead pixel, then it moved. We were hoping it would die at the edge....no, it died in the middle xD

I dont think it is related but the screen died a few weeks after.

To get it out you can take the monitor apart, if your feeling brave

Maybe a can of compressed air, stuff you can buy to clean a pc keyboard etc?

If you don't want to attempt it yourself I am sure a local PC repair shop should have no trouble opening it and clearing it up, just don't let them overcharge you. BTW can you post a picture

PS if you are in London, let me know I may be able to help as a PC repair shop owner.
