recently called attention to this delivery dilemma and suggested an unlikely solution: dryer sheets.
Chris Strickley, the man behind the Reddit post, has been a letter carrier for almost six years and has caused quite a stir after suggesting that a simple dryer sheet can prevent insects like wasps and yellowjackets from nesting inside mailboxes and causing a world of problems for mail carriers. Strickley wrote that mailboxes provide"nice, easy shelter for them" when the weather is warm during the day but still chilly at night.
"I can’t tell you how many times, especially during this part of the year, where I’ve opened up a box to see a little nest with 3-5 Yellowjackets just chillin. If I’m really unlucky, they will have made their nest at the very back of the box so I wind up sticking my hand in not knowing they are there," the 31-year-old wrote in his post, revealing that he was stung 10 separate times in the last year.
Strickley, who began his career with the U.S. Postal Service in eastern Oregon before transferring to Idaho five years ago, told TODAY that he first came up with the idea of adding a dryer sheet to a mailbox during his first year on the job.
Why?
I was today’s old when I learned this. 👍🏼👏🏼
Your post person is trying to discourage bees from inhabiting your mailbox.
It means that the email you sent to nbcsnl pleading your case for 2 season finale tickets & michaelkeenan’s last show made it to the top of nbc and was granted ! DreamsComeTrue
To keep wasps from making a nest
Evil 👎
Maybe the mailman did that to keep bugs out
That You are definitely in an alternate universe over here.
I got other crap to care about
Means someone else who doesn't own my mailbox (me & spouse) or some USPS person, is attempting to annoy me. Last I knew, ma tampering is a felony. Why do people need to touch stuff that isn't theirs? Can't they just fuck off and maybe NOT be a colossal twat?
You are required to do some money laundering! Instructions to follow!
Means I'm coming to get you whilst you sleep! -.-
