No. As a beekeeper-owned company, we relocate the insects that help us. 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.

Yes, we cover Bradner and the rest of Wood County, and our Main Office in Loudon Township 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.

Absolutely. Gaps around siding, trim, soffits and vents let yellowjackets build inside wall and ceiling voids. Rather than spraying into the wall, we locate the nest and remove it, so no dead nest is left behind to rot. If wasps keep flying in and out of one spot, stay back and call or text us.

In Northwest Ohio, queens that survived the winter start small nests in spring. Colonies grow all summer and peak in late summer and early fall, which is when most Bradner homeowners notice them. A hard frost ends most colonies, but mated queens overwinter to start again. Catching a nest while it’s small is easier for everyone.

Yes. The farmland around Bradner gives wasps lots of barns, sheds and outbuildings to settle in. Yellowjacket, hornet and European paper wasp nests are removed with no pesticides. Native paper wasps are always relocated, because they help control garden and crop pests. Before you start a project near a nest, text us a photo so we can identify it.

Those are likely yellowjackets. They often use old burrows, brush piles and overgrown corners. The giveaway is steady traffic in and out of a single small hole. Mowing over it or pouring something in can set off the whole colony. We remove ground nests without pesticides. Text a photo from a safe distance to 419-614-6445.

No chemicals at all. We never spray poison at your home. We physically remove each nest, which lets a beekeeper do this work without a pest control license. That means no residue on your porch, deck or garden, and nothing drifting onto the flowers pollinators in Wood County need. Call or text 419-614-6445 for a free virtual quote.

People use both words, but technically a hive is home to honeybees, while wasps build paper nests. Either way, our Wasp Hive Removal Service takes out yellowjacket, hornet and European paper wasp nests with no pesticides. Honeybee hives are never destroyed; a beekeeper relocates them alive. Our article on wasp hive removal vs. wasp nest removal explains more.

Please don’t spray them. Keep kids and pets at a distance. A cluster on a branch, fence or mailbox is usually resting while scouts search for a home. Text a photo and your address to 419-614-6445. Swarms hanging in the open are removed at no charge by our sister company, The Mindful Beekeeper, through its Wood County swarm rescue service, and the bees go to an apiary instead of being destroyed.

Rescued colonies go to our sister company, The Mindful Beekeeper, whose Apiary #1 is at 12860 W TR 114 in Loudon Township. From 2027, they’ll also go to Apiary #2 in Van Buren, OH and Apiary #3 in Bryan, OH. Each colony passes through an inspection station before joining an apiary, and only extra honey is harvested from strong hives.

Yes, with a thermal camera. A honeybee colony keeps its nest at roughly 92–95°F, which shows up clearly against cooler wall framing. The Mindful Beekeeper offers thermal camera scans in Wood County, so the comb can be located before anything is opened. That keeps any wall cut small and accurate, and the colony is moved out alive.

Yes. In July 2025, bees were getting into a home in nearby Wayne, in Wood County, through a gap in the siding. Behind it was a 20-inch by 20-inch comb. The comb was cut out by hand and secured into frames, and the last bees were moved with smoke and a bee-friendly vacuum. See the Wayne job.

Honeybee relocations from walls, ceilings, soffits and other structures are being booked for Spring 2027, so reserve a spot early. Wasp and yellowjacket removal is a separate service. Some extractions happen at night when the weather is hot and humid. Bees hanging in the open are a swarm, which is handled differently. Text a photo to 419-614-6445.
