Summer often brings sunshine, outdoor activities, and time spent in gardens, but it also marks the return of seasonal pests. While most people focus on keeping insects away from patios, plants, and doorways, there is one commonly overlooked place where bugs frequently gather: the mailbox. During warm months, mailboxes can quietly turn into resting spots for insects looking for shelter. Tucked away from daily attention, these small spaces provide the kind of environment that insects naturally seek, making them an unexpected concern for both homeowners and mail carriers.
