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.

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. There’s no residue left on decks, play sets or garden beds in Republic. 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.

We do. Republic is on our regular route, and our Main Office in Loudon Township is the closest base. Our Wasp Hive Removal Service handles yellowjacket, hornet and European paper wasp nests, and we also relocate honeybees, bumblebees and cicada killers and rescue opossums. Call or text 419-614-6445 and send a picture of the nest.

Yes. Barns, sheds and outbuildings are some of the most common nest sites we see in Republic. We remove yellowjacket, hornet and European paper wasp nests without pesticides. Native paper wasps are always relocated, because they help control garden and crop pests. Text a photo first so we can tell you what you’re dealing with.

Absolutely. Gaps around siding, trim, soffits and vents let yellowjackets build inside wall and ceiling voids. Rather than spraying into the wall, we locate the nest and remove it, so no dead nest is left behind to rot. 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 Republic 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.

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. 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.

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 Seneca 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. 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.

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.

It’s done with a planned wall 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.

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.
