HOW TO GET ANTS OUT OF YOUR MAILBOX
Sometimes during a heavy rainstorm a colony of ants will seek refuge in a rural-type mailbox. Desperate people, finding thousands of ants climbing through their mail, will get out the poison and spray. Then they wind up with a sticky box full of countless ant carcasses. The best way to get rid of the ants is simply to leave the mailbox open. The ants, not liking the light and the vulnerability, will immediately begin to move out, and will soon be gone, eggs and all, leaving no trace that they were ever there.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful in its simplicity.
ReplyDeleteSo THAT'S why I see rural mailboxes with their doors open, sticking out into the roadway like a bratty child's defiant tongue! I always thought it was from people so anxious to read their mail that they forgot to shut the door... I once had to swerve sharply to avoid someone practically stopped in the middle of the road, casually thumbing through the envelopes, totally oblivious to the 55mph traffic. Whew!
