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. Napoleon is part of our Henry County coverage, and our Bryan, OH Office is the closest base. 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. Text a photo to 419-614-6445 to get started.

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 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. If wasps keep flying in and out of one spot, stay back and call or text us.

Each spring, an overwintered queen starts a small nest on her own. Colonies grow all summer and peak in late summer and early fall, which is when most Napoleon homeowners notice them. A hard frost ends most colonies, but mated queens overwinter to start again. Call early if you see one forming.

We do. Wasps around Napoleon love the shelter of garages, sheds and decks. We remove yellowjacket, hornet and European paper wasp nests without pesticides. Native paper wasps are relocated, never destroyed, since they eat caterpillars and other pests. Text a photo first so we can tell you what you’re dealing with.

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.

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. There’s no residue left on decks, play sets or garden beds in Napoleon. Call or text 419-614-6445 for a free virtual quote.

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.

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 Henry County swarm rescue service, and the bees go to an apiary instead of being destroyed.

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 Napoleon, 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.

Bees flying in and out of one gap usually mean a colony has moved in and is building comb inside the wall, ceiling or soffit. 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.

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 Henry 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 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.
