Pond pump maintenance time…

The pond pump stopped working.  I wasn't getting power to the outlet so I opened it up. I found an any colony and it seems like they decided the outlet box was the place to stash their babies!  Of course the ants weren't happy about it and crawled all over me to let me know.  I came back a few hours later and they'd moved them all somewhere else! Crazy.  Good news is that I got the pump running again after replacing the switch, outlet and fan.  Bad news is there's probably a ground fault somewhere along the line and I'm probably due to rebuild the compressor again soon, but it's running again for now.
