I have a problem with ants plugging up the contacts on the pressure switch and keeping the pump from running. Any suggestions to a solution??

Yes, spray or paint Permethren on the underside of the pump switch cover, on the base plate of the switch, on the conduit or wire going to the switch, and all around it. It helps to keep the area clear of weeds, debris, etc that attracts insects and other critters.

Sprinkle Borax inside the box.

Ants aren't supposed to like cinnamon.
