📬 Dryer sheet in your mailbox? Postal carrier explains why (NewsNation)

Anyone found one in their mailbox? I have NOT. Lol, maybe I need to use this on my porch where wasps keep rebuilding nests.

FROM ARTICLE. LONGMONT, Colo. (KDVR) — Matthew Taylor, a U.S. Postal Service mail carrier in Colorado, says this time of year, wasps like to build their nests in the large cluster mailbox units.
“I’ve gotten stung quite a few times. You make the best of the situation. Sometimes it really, really hurts, but the mail has got to get delivered,” Taylor said.

He and the other mail carriers have an interesting way of protecting themselves. They will place dryer sheets in the mailboxes, hoping the wasps don’t like the smell and will stay away.
“It is the scent. It makes it seem like that is not an area where they would want to build a nest, and it chases them away, but it doesn’t harm them in any shape or form,” Taylor said.
