[QUOTE="Davexx1, post: 1657165, member: 39345"] Those tiny microscopic size ants can get into a trail camera thru a vent, external power jack, loose gasket or ?? and ruin a camera. They make a nest inside and lay millions of wet eggs causing much corrosion and short circuits. It’s very maddening to open your camera and see a million ants fall out. To help remedy the problem I started spraying the tree or post that the camera was attached to with a strong yard and garden bug spray. So far that has stopped the problem. I also tried putting Permethrin 10% solution on the camera itself and discovered the chemical actually softened the plastic camera case and suffered some case cracking, hinge failures, etc. Spraying the tree seems to worked out best.
