[P1] Clamshell - ant infestation

[Robert Newman]

Ants in expensive electronic circuitry is no laughing matter.  If they 
should lodge their bodies bridging a gap between high voltage 
components they can cause a short circuit.  I repair cameras and many a 
flash circuit has destroyed a camera when they have shorted it.  Get 
rid of them if you can.
