Keep it clear: Wipe down the mailbox monthly; consider taping a fresh dryer sheet inside during peak wasp season (late summer).
What Not to Do
Don’t ignore it—your carrier’s safety depends on awareness
Don’t use mothballs or strong chemicals—they’re toxic and can damage mail
Don’t block your mailbox—carriers need clear access
A Gesture of Quiet Kindness
That little dryer sheet represents something beautiful: neighbors looking out for each other.
Your mail carrier walks miles in heat, rain, and snow—often facing unseen hazards.
This small act? It’s their way of protecting themselves while respectfully asking for your help.
So next time you see one, thank them in spirit—and do your part to keep the mailbox safe.
