That means no residue on your porch, deck or garden, and nothing drifting onto the flowers pollinators in Fulton County need. Text a photo to 419-614-6445 for a free virtual quote.

Never. We’re beekeeper-owned, so helpful insects get relocated. Bumblebees and native paper wasps are always humanely relocated, and gentle cicada killers are moved away from walkways and play areas rather than poisoned. Males can’t sting at all, and females rarely do. We only remove the stinging insects that put people at risk, like yellowjackets, hornets and European paper wasps.

We do. Archbold is on our regular route, and our Bryan, OH Office is the closest base. Along with our Wasp Hive Removal Service for yellowjackets, hornets and European paper wasps, we relocate honeybees, bumblebees and cicada killers and help opossums in trouble. Call or text 419-614-6445 with a photo.

Yes. Barns, sheds and outbuildings are some of the most common nest sites we see in Archbold. We remove yellowjacket, hornet and European paper wasp nests without pesticides. Native paper wasps are relocated, never destroyed, since they eat caterpillars and other pests. Snap a photo from a safe distance and text it to us.

Yes, that’s a big part of our work. Older siding, loose trim and open vents give yellowjackets easy access to wall and ceiling voids. We locate and extract the nest by hand instead of using poison, so there’s nothing left in the wall to attract pests. See steady traffic at one spot? Keep your distance and text 419-614-6445.

Nests start in spring, when a single queen that survived the winter begins building. By late summer and early fall the colonies are at their biggest and most defensive, so that’s when most calls from Archbold come in. A hard frost usually finishes the colony, while new queens hide away until spring. Call early if you see one forming.

Ground nests are usually yellowjackets using old burrows, brush piles or overgrown corners. Look for wasps flying in and out of one small hole. Don’t mow over it or try to flood it, which sets off the colony. We remove ground nests without pesticides. Text a photo from a safe distance to 419-614-6445.

People use both words, but technically a hive is home to honeybees, while wasps build paper nests. Whatever you call it, our Wasp Hive Removal Service removes yellowjacket, hornet and European paper wasp nests without pesticides. Honeybee hives are never destroyed; a beekeeper relocates them alive. Our article on wasp hive removal vs. wasp nest removal explains more.

Don’t spray it, and keep people and pets back. A swarm on a branch or fence is usually just resting while scouts look for a new home. Text a photo and your address to 419-614-6445. Our sister company, The Mindful Beekeeper, collects open-air swarms at no charge through its Fulton County swarm rescue service, and the bees go to an apiary.

Rescued colonies go to our sister company, The Mindful Beekeeper, whose Apiary #1 is at 12860 W TR 114 in Loudon Township. Starting in 2027, colonies will also go to Apiary #3 in Bryan, OH, close to Archbold, and to Apiary #2 in Van Buren, OH. Every colony stops at an inspection station first, and only surplus honey is ever taken from strong hives.

Yes, with a careful cutout. Only the section of siding, drywall or ceiling over the comb is opened. The comb is cut out by hand and secured into frames, and the remaining bees are gently vacuumed into a hive box. See The Mindful Beekeeper’s wall cutout service. The cavity is cleaned so new bees aren’t drawn back.

Bees flying in and out of one gap usually mean a colony has moved in and is building comb inside the wall, ceiling or soffit. Our sister company, The Mindful Beekeeper, plans those structural removals one job at a time. Please don’t plug the entrance or spray it. Trapped bees and leftover comb cause bigger problems. Text a photo to 419-614-6445.

Structural honeybee relocations are now booking for Spring 2027, so it pays to get on the list early. Wasp removal is booked separately. In hot, humid Ohio weather, some extractions are done at night. Bees hanging in the open are a swarm, which is handled differently. Text a photo to 419-614-6445.
