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. That means no residue on your porch, deck or garden, and nothing drifting onto the flowers pollinators in Putnam County need. Call or text 419-614-6445 for a free virtual quote.

No. As a beekeeper-owned company, we relocate the insects that help us. 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, we cover Ottawa and the rest of Putnam County, and our Main Office in Loudon Township is the closest base. Along with our Wasp Hive Removal Service for yellowjackets, hornets and European paper wasps, we relocate honeybees, bumblebees and cicada killers and help opossums in trouble. Call or text 419-614-6445 and send a picture of the nest.

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. See steady traffic at one spot? Keep your distance and text 419-614-6445.

We do. Wasps around Ottawa love the shelter of garages, sheds and decks. Yellowjacket, hornet and European paper wasp nests are removed with no pesticides. Native paper wasps are relocated, never destroyed, since they eat caterpillars and other pests. Snap a photo from a safe distance and text it to us.

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.

In Northwest Ohio, queens that survived the winter start small nests in spring. By late summer and early fall the colonies are at their biggest and most defensive, so that’s when most calls from Ottawa come in. A hard frost usually finishes the colony, while new queens hide away until spring. Small nests are easiest to remove, so call early.

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.

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 #2 in Van Buren, OH and Apiary #3 in Bryan, OH. Each colony passes through an inspection station before joining an apiary, and only extra honey is harvested 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. 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.

Yes, with a careful cutout. Only the section of siding, drywall or ceiling over the comb is opened. The comb is cut out by hand and secured into frames, and the remaining bees are gently vacuumed into a hive box. See The Mindful Beekeeper’s wall cutout service. The cavity is cleaned so new bees aren’t drawn back.

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.

Structural honeybee relocations are now booking for Spring 2027, so it pays to get on the list early. Wasp removal is booked separately. 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.
