I would like to cook some wasps out of my gas log fireplace but it seems
that every time I try to the suckers find their way out of the fire and into
the room. Question is can I burn the gas log with the glass doors shut? Log
mfg. in instructions warn against closing the doors.Why?
Lack of o2 breakage of glass or what? I intend to stay close to fire.

Do the fire thing as the first line of attack. For any wasps that
escape into the room get a cheap badminton racket to swat them. The
racket has a large hit zone, is light, and very accurate. A hit will
dismember the wasp before it can send out any alarm to other wasps to
join in the attack.

I had a nest of yellowjackets under my front door concrete landing
that nothing could reach. By late summer there were so many of them I
received a note from the post office to get rid of them or else. I
had a real enjoyable time with the badminton racket.
