How to get rid of wasp nest in fireplace
Ethan Hayes 
Nothing quite like a swarming wasp to elicit shrieks of fright and fleeing outside. Worse, a wasp flying about inside your house may be terrifying. Most people despise the notion of bees or wasps nesting in their homes, and if you have a chimney, your home is an excellent location for wasps seeking a spot to lay their eggs. At the very least, it gives them a way to get inside your house.
Consider top-sealing dampers.
Top-sealing dampers make sense for a variety of reasons. They provide a flawless seal when closed, preventing anything from entering. When you have a fire blazing and the damper is open, the smoke will naturally keep wasps, bees, and other insects out of your chimney.’ To get rid of any wasps and prevent them from breeding on or near your house spraying should take place in the early spring when wasps are starting to build their summer nests.
Keep an eye out for nesting.
Be on the watch for wasps when they begin to build their nests in the spring. Look for evidence of nest construction on the sides of your house Consider using a decoy. The majority of wasps won’t establish a nest within 200 feet of another wasp’s. Wasp decoys, which may be placed about your home to fool wasps into thinking a nest already exists, can be obtained at a local hardware store.
Wasp bait should be removed.
Wasps require food to survive. Garbage cans and bird feeders that are conveniently accessible are popular among wasps. Keep wasps away from your home to avoid attracting them.
Make sure you don’t start a fire.
Don’t light a fire. If your chimney has a nest or a partial nest, the debris might fall onto the smoke shelf and be hard to remove.
