Mr. Eldridge
Background
Mr. Eldridge is a farmer in Paradise City, Arizona. His wife is Mildred Eldridge and his granddaughter is Kendra Eldridge.
During the events of Phase IV (1974) played by Alan Gifford
Mr. Eldridge shows Dr. Ernest D. Hubbs and James R. Lesko a trap he made in case they are attacked by the Ants, consisting of tanks of fuel pouring into the canal which they can then light on fire. As Mr. Eldridge is telling Dr. Hubbs how most of the residents started leaving, James stares at Kendra. Mildred joins the conversation and Dr. Hubbs gives Mr. Eldridge an evacuation letter telling them to leave. During the night the Eldridges' horses are attacked and Mr. Eldridge tells Clete to set the fire trap. Mr. Eldridge shoots the dying horses and the Ants attack the house, forcing the Eldridges and Clete to escape in their truck. Mildred notices some of the Ants made it onto the truck and Mr. Eldridge crashes it. The Ants destroy the generator to the laboratory and Dr. Hubbs counters with a large stream of insecticide that sprays out of a cylinder which kills Mr. Eldridge, Mildred and Clete, due to them being in the path of the insecticide.
