How to Keep Ants Out of Your Game Camera

One of the problems with putting a game camera out in the woods is the little red ants will eventually locate it and build a nest inside - thus taking over your camera and making a mess of things.  Then you  have to leave your camera out in the hot sun to bake the ants and suck-up the casualties with your shop vac.  You start over and the ants come right back.

They're relentless.

A discussion thread over at the Bowsite Wisconsin Forum provided a clever solution.

Dismantle the cage containing a No-Pest Strip and cut a piece off with a scissors. Place it in your camera....

VOILA!

No more ants.

(Wear gloves when handling the insecticidal strip.)

Another example of better living through chemicals.
