The Year of the Ants

This was creepy!  First the kitchen twice (first during Easter), and now the mailbox at random?!

Nothing like opening your mailbox and almost putting your hand in a bunch of ants!  I have never had so many issues with ants as I have this spring.  It is nuts!  So I tapped the box and "chased" the ants into the back so I could pick up my mail without getting the infestation all over my hands.

Luckily the Orkin man was coming tonight and I sicced him on the mailbox before he even set foot in the house.  He was as shocked as I was when I opened the mailbox and the inside was practically swarming with ants.  Who knows what they thought they needed to be doing in there, but he "baited the heck out of" the mailbox.  Supposedly within the next couple days there should be no ants in or near the mailbox.  We'll see.
