I have a big problem with red jackets making nests in my gas grill.

I would prefer to not spray wasp poison in my grill.

Any other methods?

Maybe a home made hornet killer?

thanks,
Andy

Where exactly are they? Will lighting the grill burn them? Can you hit
the nest with a propane torch? Soap and water spray helps. Peppermint
oil is supposed to deter them from nesting.

Wait till dusk, cover all the holes/openings in the grill, turn it on,
when done, add bbq sauce. Roasted wasps.

Bake at 300°F for 45 minutes, remove stingers, plate and serve with a blue cheese dipping sauce.

Had not heard of this wasp and see it can sting and nests may have a lot
of wasps. I would probably spray with permethrin insecticide which is
fairly safe around people or animals and would think residue would
evaporate and gotten rid of by heating up the grill before trying to
cook anything.

How gauche! Anyone who's not a barbarian knows that wasps are properly
served chilled and with salsa, not blue cheese...

Wait till dusk, cover all the holes/openings in the grill, turn it on,
when done, add bbq sauce. Roasted wasps.

It has to be a slow cook ~275° F using California Red Oak wood chunks
for a nice smoky flavor. Wasp only have to reach 140° F internal
temps to be "food safe". Glaze them with Wasp Glaze. It can be a
fruity flavor with a hint of sriracha sauce.

Power Washer unless it fails. Then try dynamite

This tastes like it has a certain sting to it.
