Had them inside my Excite, sprayed it and had no problems after that . You may want to spray the base of the tree to keep them away .

next time you get ants in your cam, place your cam in a 1 gallon zip lock bag and put it in the freezer over night. this will kill any ants in the cam. i would do this before spraying any insecticide on my cam. besides the insecticide will put an odor on and in your cam that might not ever go away.

Hey guys thanks for all the comments, I am pretty sure I got all the ants killed. I am away for the weekend so I put the camera right beside my house looking over our garbage cans since something has been getting into them. Hopefully I will get some cool pics and in the mean time see if the camera is still operating correctly.

I just checked my Scoutguard today after being out for 5weeks and it was completely full of ants. It took pics for 6days and then stopped.
I only had about 25 deer pics of a total of 1500 pics. I pulled it, sprayed it out with the air compressor and now have it in a bag with a Raid soaked paper towel.
I really hope it still works.

Damn the ants are really hitting a lot of people this year. And it definitely seems like it causes the camera to take many blank pictures while the ants are in there. I had so many more empty pictures then I have ever had before but hopefully when the ants are gone the camera goes back to functioning normally.

Alright now I am confused.. If the cams are water tight as they say they can be how in the heck does ants get inside of them? It baffles me to see where they can get inside of one of them.. I am stumped by this news...

Nice pics too by the way..
