Yeh, get rid of the one behind the ref. Its a pain in the ass when when it trips. I had a crazy young inspector demanded I install one behind the dishwasher. Called his boss to fix that and hope he got an ear full for that day.

The outlets were inside the house but located on an exterior wall. The ants were practically Packed in there. Like they were building a nest or something! 🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜 LOL!
It took a few times of the GFI tripping before I pulled the cover plate to see WTH was going on, (button would usually reset)...then ant swarm. Crazy! I’m sure it was many burning ant bodies inside after they made the “connection”! 😆
