Getting the hang of it

I have a total of five cams up and only have this issue with one camera. The camera over my driveway attracts bugs like crazy, particularly in the daytime! There are flies, mosquitos, bees, you name it; they all hang around this one particular cam. Anyone else has this issue and any ideas on how to get rid of them?

Side note, here's a cool snapshot of a honeybee that was buzzing around the cam a while the other day.

Mud daubers! I swear they love white camera housings :angry:
 
Install a camera with alarm inputs and use a PIR motion detector. Virtually no more false alarms. Your driveway is an important spot to have reliable alerts.

Soak a cotton ball in some Ortho Bug-B-Gon or other permethrin/bifenthrin based insecticide. Tuck it into the camera housing. Re-soak it every couple of weeks.
