This Dryer Sheet Hack Might Be The Key To A Wasp-Free Mailbox
By TRICIA GOSS
During the hot summer months, small insects such as bees, wasps, and ants often seek refuge from the heat in mailboxes, making it challenging for people to retrieve their mail.
Luckily, postal workers have discovered a simple yet reliable solution: placing a new, scented dryer sheet at the back of the mailbox. Make sure it doesn't obstruct mail delivery.
It's crucial to replace the sheets every few weeks for ongoing protection. This method not only keeps wasps away but also reduces the musty odor associated with mailboxes.
While this method is effective, it may not eliminate all pests. Therefore, inspect your mailbox regularly and remove any debris and insects inside to ensure it remains wasp-free.
