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.

Yes, completely. We don’t spray poisons 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 Williams 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.

Yes, we cover Edgerton and the rest of Williams County, and we work out of our nearby Bryan, OH Office. Our Wasp Hive Removal Service handles yellowjacket, hornet and European paper wasp nests, and we also relocate honeybees, bumblebees and cicada killers and rescue opossums. Call or text 419-614-6445 with a photo.

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. Keep clear of the entrance and give us a call.

Yes. Barns, sheds and outbuildings are some of the most common nest sites we see in Edgerton. 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.

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.

Nests start in spring, when a single queen that survived the winter begins building. Colonies grow all summer and peak in late summer and early fall, which is when most Edgerton homeowners notice them. A hard frost ends most colonies, but mated queens overwinter to start again. Call early if you see one forming.

Don’t spray it, and keep people and pets back. 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 Northwest Ohio 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. Starting in 2027, colonies will also go to Apiary #3 in Bryan, OH, close to Edgerton, 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 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 Williams 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.

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. That’s a structural removal, handled by The Mindful Beekeeper after a careful look at the job. 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. 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.
