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 Putnam 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. 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.

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

We do. Kalida is on our regular route, and we work out of our nearby Bryan, OH Office. Our Wasp Hive Removal Service covers yellowjackets, hornets and European paper wasps. We also offer honeybee and bumblebee relocation, cicada killer relocation and opossum rescue. Call or text 419-614-6445 with a photo.

Yes. The farmland around Kalida 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. Snap a photo from a safe distance and text it to us.

Absolutely. Gaps around siding, trim, soffits and vents let yellowjackets build inside wall and ceiling voids. We find the nest and physically take it out instead of spraying poison into the wall, so nothing is left to rot or draw new pests. Keep clear of the entrance and give us a call.

Each spring, an overwintered queen starts a small nest on her own. By late summer and early fall the colonies are at their biggest and most defensive, so that’s when most calls from Kalida come in. A hard frost ends most colonies, but mated queens overwinter to start again. Call early if you see one forming.

Those are likely yellowjackets. They often use old burrows, brush piles and 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.

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. 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.

They go to our sister company, The Mindful Beekeeper. Apiary #1 is at 12860 W TR 114 in Loudon Township, near Fostoria. Starting in 2027, colonies will also go to Apiary #3 in Bryan, OH, close to Kalida, and to Apiary #2 in Van Buren, OH. Each colony passes through an inspection station before joining an apiary, and only extra honey is harvested from strong hives.

Usually not. Bees flying in and out of a gap mean a colony has moved in and is building comb inside. 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.

A thermal camera helps a lot. 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 Putnam County, so the comb can be located before anything is opened. That means a smaller, more accurate cut, and the bees leave alive.

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.
