Here are a few suggestions: 1)check the tree the camera is mounted on and around the base to see if the ants have a home there. 2)cayenne pepper is an ant deterent, but not sure if it gives off an odour or scent. 3)Is it possible to move the camera to another tree but still use the selected area?
You mention ants inside the camera when you open it. If it has the external port and you are not using it, cover it with masking tape, frog tape (painters tape) or duck tape. I have the 2009 model Bushnell Trophy Trail camera that has a rubber plug in the bottom for the 12 volt external port. The plug does not fit tight and is easily removed. I put tape inside the camera over the hole. Check the rubber seal of the camera for damage.
Good luck.
