Keeping Mail Carriers Safe from Wasp Nests

Summertime is here, bringing sunshine, warmth, and an increase in insect activity. As someone living on a small farm, I’ve noticed a rise in bees, mosquitoes, and flies.

But it’s not just us humans who are affected by these pesky creatures – even our dedicated mail carriers have to deal with them.

A Common Issue: Wasp Nests in Mailboxes

According to a Reddit post by a mail carrier, wasps, particularly yellowjackets, have a habit of making nests inside mailboxes. Despite the hot temperatures during the day, the evenings can still be chilly. This makes the interior of mailboxes an appealing and sheltered spot for these insects to call home.

The Hazards Faced by Mail Carriers

The mail carrier explains that unsuspecting carriers often come across multiple wasps gathered at the back of mailboxes. When they reach inside to deliver the mail, the wasps become agitated, leading to frequent stings. In fact, this particular carrier endured ten stings in just one summer.
