YellowJactet Wasp exterminator

[SAnd]

I'm looking for an exterminator or someone to get rid of a yellow jacket nest in my chimney. I'm close to Evens Avenue and Santé Fe Drive in Denver. I'm not looking for a long time maintenance contract, I'm just looking to get rid of these guys.

Any recommendations will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Long shot wasp spray will knock them dead. It take a few cans. Dress in heavy clothing & bug netting over your face.

Or just light a roaring fire in the fireplace, that'll get em too.

Light a fire?

Light a fire?

Smoke will get them out.

Wasp spray & then light a fire!

Don't listen to all this bad advice.

Just bait some raccoons to live in there instead!

Sorta older home. It's not a fireplace chimney. The hot water heater and furnace go into the side of it in the basement. If I cycle them on it just warms them up to comfortable.
Is there a smoke bomb or something I can set off in the bottom to chase them out? I checked at a couple hardware stores and all they had were bombs that are flammable which I don't really want to use in the situation I have. The same goes with sprays. I'm also not that nuts about personally climbing around on my roof guessing at what I'm doing and hoping it works. That's why I'm willing to hire it out to someone that knows what they are doing.

Thanks for your suggestions.

Man they are bad this year. I still have a nest in the ground that I can't kill off. 3 cans of wasp killer spray so far. I'm about to resort to kerosene or something.

Wow... soapy water kills them. No need for chemicals. They breath through the skin, so when you cover them with soapy bubbles they drown. I use liquid hand soap and water in a spray bottle.

OR cheap spray lube. You need to wait until the temp goes below 50 ~ they get slower / slugish . We zap them with some cheap wd-40 as the sun goes down, if not 1st thing in the morning.

That's what real men do

just rid myself of a nest in the house last weekend. HUGE! F*CK (crawlspace under back porch/house access)

I sucked them up with the shop VAC for hours one weekend. Just left the hose close to the nest hole and it caught 99% of them coming and going.

Spray the nest down with WD40/Windex and other similar products = cheap. Suck them up with a big shop vac. Scared as heck, but I got rid of them finally.

Thanks for all the information and help. I got up there this morning when it was about 40 degrees to look down the chimney. There were about a dozen cruising up and down the warm air but none coming close to the top opening. I couldn't see any nest or crowd around what would be an entrance to a nest.

I was able to contact a pest service later and they will be out Monday to treat the area with stuff that will kill them. I acts slow enough it should be transported back to the nest and take care of that too. They have a guarantee it will work or they redo it.

So thanks again for the responses.

Buy tempo sc. Use in a fogger or garden sprayer for basically any common bug
