If You Find A Dryer Sheet In Your Mailbox, You Had Better Know What It Means

Ah, summer! Warmth, greenery, and sunshine—but also wasps, the uninvited BBQ spoilers. While wasps play a role in the ecosystem, their habit of nesting in mailboxes can make life difficult for mail carriers, who often get stung.

Thankfully, there’s a simple fix: a scented dryer sheet. The smell deters wasps from nesting. Here’s how to use it:

  1. Pick a scented dryer sheet.
  2. Tape it inside the mailbox.
  3. Replace it regularly to maintain the scent.
