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.

Strictly speaking, honeybees live in hives and wasps build paper nests, though most people use the words interchangeably. 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.

Yes, we cover Swanton and the rest of Fulton County, and we work out of our nearby Bryan, OH Office. 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, that’s a big part of our work. 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.

Yes. The farmland around Swanton gives wasps lots of barns, sheds and outbuildings 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.

In Northwest Ohio, queens that survived the winter start small nests in spring. Colonies grow all summer and peak in late summer and early fall, which is when most Swanton homeowners notice them. A hard frost usually finishes the colony, while new queens hide away until spring. Small nests are easiest to remove, so call early.

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 Swanton. Text a photo to 419-614-6445 for a free virtual quote.

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 Fulton 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 #3 in Bryan, OH, close to Swanton, 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.

Usually not. Bees flying in and out of a gap mean a colony has moved in and is building comb inside. That’s a structural removal, handled by The Mindful Beekeeper after a careful look at the job. Please don’t plug the entrance or spray it. Trapped bees and leftover comb cause bigger problems. Text a photo to 419-614-6445.

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 opening is then left clean for repairs.

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.
