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. 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.

People use both words, but technically a hive is home to honeybees, while wasps build paper nests. 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.

Yes. Port Clinton is part of our Ottawa County coverage, and we work out of our Main Office in Loudon Township. 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.

Yes. The shoreline around Port Clinton gives wasps lots of docks, boathouses and sheds to settle in. 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. Snap a photo from a safe distance and text it to us.

Yes. 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.

Nests start in spring, when a single queen that survived the winter begins building. By late summer and early fall the colonies are at their biggest and most defensive, so that’s when most calls from Port Clinton come in. A hard frost ends most colonies, but mated queens overwinter to start again. Catching a nest while it’s small is easier for everyone.

Late in the summer, yellowjackets go after sweet drinks and food, so outdoor tables by the water attract them. Paper wasps also build under dock boards, boat lifts and cottage eaves. We remove dangerous nests without pesticides, which matters near the lake. Text a photo to 419-614-6445.

No chemicals at all. We never spray poison 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 Port Clinton. Call or text 419-614-6445 for a free virtual quote.

Please don’t spray them. Keep kids and pets at a distance. 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. Swarms hanging in the open are removed at no charge by our sister company, The Mindful Beekeeper, through its Ottawa County swarm rescue service, and the bees go to an apiary instead of being destroyed.

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.

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 Ottawa 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.

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.

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. 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.
