Poco natural
"My nagging wife is onto me again to put out the trash."
Using "for" feels like it is about something that you did in the past, not something that you will do in the future. For example:
1. "My wife is onto me again for leaving the toilet seat up." (past action)
2. "My wife is onto me again to put the toilet seat down." (future action)
