Yes, it surprised the heckouta me. There's apparently a lot of ants in my area as it's been a constant battle inside the house; making an effort to keep the counters scrubbed clean and Terro ant baits left out at frequent entry points. (I put them on 2X5 note cards, in case there's any spillage.) But in my mailbox? They were little tiny ants and the mailbox had some sand-like substance in there too; ant droppings?
So, I scubbed out the mailbox with 409 household cleaner, waited for it to dry, and placed two Terro ant baits in there too, in the back corners; also on 2X5 note cards. Strange thing is, I've been here for 30 years and this has NEVER happened before.
