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.

Yes, that’s a big part of our work. Yellowjackets in Delphos often slip through gaps in siding, trim and vents and build inside walls and ceilings. Rather than spraying into the wall, we locate the nest and remove it, so no dead nest is left behind to rot. See steady traffic at one spot? Keep your distance and text 419-614-6445.

Yes. Garages, sheds and decks are some of the most common nest sites we see in Delphos. We remove yellowjacket, hornet and European paper wasp nests without 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.

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 Delphos homeowners notice them. A hard frost ends most colonies, but mated queens overwinter to start again. Small nests are easiest to remove, so call early.

Ground nests are usually yellowjackets using old burrows, brush piles or 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.

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.

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 Allen County need. Call or text 419-614-6445 for a free virtual quote.

Please don’t spray them. Keep kids and pets at a distance. 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 Northwest Ohio 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 Delphos, 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.

Not quite. A swarm hangs out in the open, but bees going in and out of one spot have usually built comb inside the wall, ceiling or soffit. Our sister company, The Mindful Beekeeper, plans those structural removals one job at a time. Don’t seal the hole or spray, because that traps the bees and leaves comb to melt and rot. Text a photo to 419-614-6445.

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 Allen 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.

Honeybee relocations from walls, ceilings, soffits and other structures are being booked for Spring 2027, so reserve a spot 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.
