A silent heads-up: “There may be wasps here—be careful!”
A request: “Please check your mailbox for nests and keep it wasp-free.”
It’s not litter. It’s not a prank.
It’s a small act of protection—for your carrier, your family, and your pets.
What You Should Do
Don’t throw it away immediately—leave it for a few days to help deter insects.
Inspect your mailbox:
Look for papery nests, buzzing, or wasps flying in/out
Check at dawn or dusk when wasps are less active
If you find a nest:
Do not spray wasp killer yourself if the mailbox is shared or near a road
Contact your local post office—they have protocols for safe removal
