To me, that pretty much explains why you might see ants in the mailbox. RR ties have a tendency to attract ants (and other critters). Our borough even has an ordinance prohibiting their use. My mailbox sits on a painted, ordinary piece of galvanized pipe. I put it in when we moved here in 1976. However, I'm on my third mailbox. The first two rusted out. Then I got smart and put in an aluminum one.
