I use Formula 409 (a kitchen cleaner) to keep wasps from building a nest. Just spray them and the nest with it and it not only kills the wasp, it prevents any others from trying to build a nest in the same spot. Works every time. Good luck.
What can I do to prevent wasps from building a nest in my BBQ grill?
Wasps from Northern, Illinois
RE: Prevent Wasps From Building a Nest
Is this one of those big hearths? Or a little (regular) one? If it is the big permanent grill stove (like made of stone) you could do some landscaping around the back of it (not in front of the hearth) to accommodate wasp repelling plants, or one had a suggestion for hanging a balled-up paper sack to imitate a nest.

Good luck and let us know how you do. (06/09/2006)

RE: Prevent Wasps From Building a Nest
Don't know if this will help in your situation, but my hubby always sprays WD 40 where ever wasps are building a nest and they vanish. I don't know why, but they pack up and go. (07/11/2006)

Is there a way to deter wasps from building behind vinyl siding?
