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. Male cicada killers can’t sting, and females rarely do. We only remove the stinging insects that put people at risk, like yellowjackets, hornets and European paper wasps.

Yes. Nothing is sprayed. We physically remove each nest, which lets a beekeeper do this work without a pest control license. There’s no residue left on decks, play sets or garden beds in Fayette. Call or text 419-614-6445 for a free virtual quote.

Call or text 419-614-6445 with a photo.

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

Yes. The farmland around Fayette gives wasps lots of barns, sheds and outbuildings to settle in. 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.

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 Fayette homeowners notice them. A hard frost usually finishes the colony, while new queens hide away until spring. Catching a nest while it’s small is easier for everyone.

Yes. Yellowjackets often nest underground in old rodent burrows, under brush piles and in overgrown corners. Look for wasps flying in and out of one 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.

Strictly speaking, honeybees live in hives and wasps build paper nests, though most people use the words interchangeably. 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 Fayette, 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 Fulton 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.

Usually not. Bees flying in and out of a gap mean a colony has moved in and is building comb inside. That’s a structural removal, handled by The Mindful Beekeeper after a careful look at the job. 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.

Structural honeybee relocations are now booking for Spring 2027, so it pays to get on the list early. Wasp and yellowjacket removal is a separate service. 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.
