Wasp & Bee Removal Services in Ohio
Stinging insects can turn your outdoor spaces into danger zones — especially if there are nests near your doors, decks, or windows. Whether it’s aggressive yellow jackets, a growing wasp nest, or carpenter bees boring into your siding, these pests can create serious risks for families, pets, and guests.
At Liberty Shield Pest Control, we offer fast, professional, and humane wasp and bee removal services in Ohio. From safe nest extraction to long-term prevention, we make sure your home or business stays sting-free.
We’re based locally and offer same-day service in most areas, so you won’t be waiting around while the problem gets worse.
Identifying Common Stinging Insects in Ohio
Knowing what type of stinging insect you’re dealing with is critical to removing it properly — and safely. Here are the most common species we treat across Shelby and surrounding areas:
- Yellow Jackets: Aggressive, especially in late summer; often build nests in the ground or inside walls.
- Paper Wasps: Create umbrella-shaped nests under eaves and overhangs; can be territorial.
- Hornets: Larger and more dangerous than most wasps; build aerial nests in trees, attics, or sheds.
- Carpenter Bees: Bore into untreated wood to lay eggs; more destructive than aggressive.
- Honeybees: Vital pollinators that may swarm into structures. When possible, we coordinate with local beekeepers for relocation.
If you see a nest forming, hear buzzing behind walls, or notice increased insect traffic around one area of your home, call us for a professional assessment before the situation escalates.
Our Removal & Treatment Process
We take a careful, strategic approach to every stinging insect issue — protecting your property, your family, and the surrounding environment.
Inspection & Species Identification
We assess the location and species to determine the best approach — including whether humane relocation is an option (especially with bees).
Protective Removal
Our team arrives with proper safety gear and professional-grade tools to safely remove or neutralize the nest.
Surface Treatment (if necessary)
For wasps and hornets, we apply a residual treatment to the area to prevent re-nesting in the same spot.
Entry Point Sealing
If insects were entering a wall cavity, attic, or soffit, we seal those access points to prevent future activity.
Preventative Advice
We provide guidance on landscaping, wood treatment (for carpenter bees), and what to watch for in future seasons.
Safe & Humane Bee Extermination When Necessary
While bees play an essential role in pollination and local ecosystems, they can become a threat when they take up residence near doors, windows, or within the structure of your home.
We strive to relocate bees whenever possible, working with local beekeepers and using gentle methods for swarms or honeybee nests. When relocation isn’t possible — such as when the hive poses an immediate danger — we use safe, humane extermination methods that comply with state and environmental guidelines.
Common bee removal calls we respond to:
- Bee swarms settling on sheds, decks, or tree limbs
- Honeybee colonies inside walls or attics
- Carpenter bees boring holes in trim, siding, or deck boards
Fast & Effective Yellow Jacket and Hornet Control
Yellow jackets and hornets are aggressive and unpredictable — especially when their nests are disturbed. Attempting to remove them on your own is not only dangerous, it often fails to eliminate the colony.
Our team provides:
- Same-day yellow jacket nest removal
- Hornet nest treatment and removal
- Ground nest treatment for below-surface infestations
- Wasp control with ongoing protection options
We’ll ensure complete colony elimination, clean up the area, and apply deterrents to keep them from coming back.
