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, completely. We don’t spray poisons at your home. Nests are physically removed, which is how beekeepers can offer this service without a pest control license. There’s no residue left on decks, play sets or garden beds in New Washington. Call or text 419-614-6445 for a free virtual quote.

Yes, we cover New Washington and the rest of Crawford County, and we work out of our Main Office in Loudon Township.

Yes, that’s a big part of our work. Yellowjackets in New Washington often slip through gaps in siding, trim and vents and build inside walls and ceilings. 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. See steady traffic at one spot?

Yes. Barns, sheds and outbuildings are some of the most common nest sites we see in New Washington. 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. Before you start a project near a nest, text us a photo so we can identify it.

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 New Washington homeowners notice them. A hard frost ends most colonies, but mated queens overwinter to start again. Call early if you see one forming.

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.

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.

Rescued colonies go to our sister company, The Mindful Beekeeper, whose Apiary #1 is at 12860 W TR 114 in Loudon Township. From 2027, they’ll also go to Apiary #2 in Van Buren, OH and Apiary #3 in Bryan, OH. Every colony stops at an inspection station first, and only surplus honey is ever taken from strong hives.

Please don’t spray them. Keep kids and pets at a distance. 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.

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. 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 Crawford 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.

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. 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.
