If you notice dryer sheets in your mailbox, you don't have to worry!
Here's what it means! If this happens, it's because the mail person is trying to deter wasps and yellow jackets. The word is that the scented dryer sheets can be used as a preventative measure to help keep them away.
Wasps typically dislike very aromatic things. Since dryer sheets are meant to freshen up clothes, it makes sense that their scents would be strong. These dryer sheets help keep nasty pests from opening up shop in cozy places like mailboxes. Being stung by a wasp hiding in a mailbox is used mostly for preventative measures, so if you see a nest forming, you'll want to help your postal worker and get rid of the wasps as soon as possible.
