    I know I seen this on here before some time ago. My camera had a infestation of ants and larva. I tryed different battery's no luck. What can I do? Clean it out entirely? I read to freeze it recently on here. Cameras just about brand new. Primos Black Out.

    You can put it in the freezer but you will have dead ants to clean out of it afterward. I've had the same problem and I brought it home and put it in a plastic bag with a Raid-soaked rag. Definitely did the trick.
