A few years back my company installed a few thousand capacitor bank controllers on the bottom utility poles. Sometime last summer, we started doing routine inspections and found a few of them covered with ants. Turns out that something in the door seal is really attractive to ants, which seems like something to avoid in a product typically installed outdoors.
