 A tip to keep the crawlies away from your letterbox. What do you have living in the mailbox ? — wasps, spiders, and scorpion were the most common occupants. Use cedar chips or aromatic herbs as a eco-friendly alternative to mothballs.
From Marcella White of Edmonton, Kentucky: "I worked as a rural mail carrier in Florida for many years. I often dreaded what I might find each time I opened the mailbox — wasps, spiders, scorpions and frogs were the most common occupants. One of my customers kept a small glass jar of mothballs in her mailbox, with holes in the lid so the fumes could escape. There were never any insects or other creatures in her mailbox. Now I live in Kentucky and have a small well house where various spiders and a copperhead snake had taken up residence. I remembered the mothballs! So, early each spring, I put new mothballs in the glass jar, and now there are no pump-house occupants at all." Ecobites Note: Use cedar chips or aromatic herbs instead of mothballs. |
