A chimney balloon is an clear poly balloon that is inflated into the fireplace flue to stop air currents from entering the home through the chimney. The reason most people put in a chimney balloon is to stop drafts, chimney smells or bats from coming inside through the fireplace. Some HVAC contractors use them to plug unused vents or ducts.
Chimney balloons are manufactured in England, but sold through international distributors and representatives in North America, Australia, and Europe.
The Fireplace Plug, made in USA, provides a similar chimney seal. However the Fireplace Plug is made of a durable black material and installed under the damper and held up with a telescoping pole. This enables the plug to be installed easily and cleanly, rather than up inside the dirty, sooty chimney.
The Fireplace Plug is sold through distributors such as Home Depot and on-line from Battic Door Energy www.batticdoor.com.

How does air help a hot air balloon fly?
Well the simple and rather obvious answer is that you need air before you can get hot air. To go a little more complex, when you heat air it becomes less dense and therefore lighter, so it rises. That's why air goes up the chimney. Put the hot air in a balloon, the balloon goes up too...........

How do you kill wasps in the chimney?
Build a small fire if the nest is actually in the chimney.But most of the time the wasps are just coming inside the house through the chimney and don't necessarily have a nest in the chimney. They are just looking for an entry point to get inside and they can sneak past the fireplace damper to get in. In this case you have to put in a chimney balloon to stop them from getting in this way. But you can expect they will try to get in through soffits, windows, siding etc as well.I believe it is food smells especially that draw them into the house. This happens especially in the fall.
