Pope,

That's alot of good pictures. Sorry about your ant problem. Here's what I did with my camera after my great ant invasion on Memorial day. I brought it home and opened it up, hoping if I just left it alone the ants would go away on their own, they didn't. So I sprayed a wash cloth down with insecticide and placed it in a garbage bag with the camera. After 24 hrs there were only about 4-5 ants left alive. I killed them and then took the camera apart. I sprayed it out with that stuff you use on computer keyboards and I think I got them all. I set it up in the yard and it took several pics so I guess it's okay. Yesterday, my brother-in-law came by and asked me if I had any cams at home so he could set one up on one of his spots. That's all it took, we were out the door in less than five minutes. It lookslike one of the problems with your Moultrie is the batteries. Anytime the batteries get weak, the background gets dark like that. When I started getting into trailcams really hot and heavy, I purchase a cheap battery tester from wally-world. Now everytime I go out to check cams or swap cards, I test the batteries too.
