Question:

We're having lots of trouble with wasps coming down the chimney. Whenever we have a fire- they come down while the damper is open. Any ideas?



Answer:

That's a first. What I might do is close the damper, drop a can of bug killing stuff with the trigger taped open down the chimney. Cover the chimney and they should all die.
