There really are not any products that are labeled for use in a chimney or fireplace. We recommend burning a fire in your fireplace for about 30 minutes as the heat will drive any hibernating insects out. You will want to check the screen to see if there is any finer mesh you can use that will still be safe for air/smoke flow at the top of the chimney.
You can spray an insecticide like Cyzmic CS or Delta Dust Insecticide / Tempo Dust into crevices around the outside of the fireplace and chimney of the home to help reduce the numbers flying around and gaining access. Treating the exterior foundation of the home, around windows, doors, under the eaves along rooflines, overhangs but also to bushes, trees, shrubs, etc where wasps may land or hide will also help.
In the winter when its cold, wasps and hornets cannot move much at all so this would be the ideal time to have the nest manually removed since they would be unable to fly or move quickly. Spraying monthly to quarterly throughout the main wasp and warm weather seasons will help achieve this.
According to the SDS (safety data sheet) for the Delta Dust in regards to clean up: “Avoid dust formation. Sweep up or vacuum up spillage and collect in suitable container for disposal.” If the dust application is extremely heavy, you may find using a ShopVac is needed as a traditional home vacuum could possibly clog if the application is thick. We recommend wearing a mask to protect against any particles that may fly into the air during cleaning. Wash off any that gets on your skin with soap and water, and toss clothes in a washer when done if chemical drifted on those surfaces.
