Ants in the smoke detector

We have a smoke detector in the living room. It has now gone off four times randomly today. After the second time, I changed the battery in all the smoke alarms, since I couldn't determine which one was beeping.

When I took off the detector to change the battery, I noticed 5 or 6 ants crawling around. I've since sprayed up there, but it hasn't helped. I think the ants are shocking themselves and setting off the alarm every few hours.

Anyone experienced this before it have any recommendations? I'd say I've seen maybe 20 ants in the past 5-6 hours, but I can't see any poor of Orion in the detector.
