Brand new Showroom on Main Street in Zionsville. Cost is determined by the job. Travel charges will apply to locations greater than 30 miles from Zionsville. Extra charge for after hours service. Award winning.

"They replaced a furnace flue liner. After a preliminary visit, the workmen identified the issues, explained my options (I went with the more expensive but higher quality fix) and scheduled the service. They showed up on time and completed the job promptly with minimal disturbance. I was impressed with their efficiency and professionalism."

"My feisty 9 month old golden doodle and I graduated from Novice Class tonight. It may sound weird, but the time I spent in class and practicing with Margo gave me confidence and filled my soul. I can’t wait to start Advanced and Agility classes! Bruce and his staff care about every dog and handler that walk through their doors. They will literally hold your hand and support you through this journey. I cannot sing enough praises of Bruce, his staff, and First Friends!"

"Michael Lyday was the technician and was very professional and courteous. He set a trap and returned the next morning to find a female raccoon. He also found she’d been nursing and captured two kits in the crawl space. He told me to tell him if I heard anymore sounds which I did when he returned the following day. He captured two more kits and told me to call him again if I heard any more sounds. There weren’t any more and I was impressed that he still called to follow up. I was completely satisfied with his humane methods of removing the animals from my property."

Animal Removal questions, answered by experts

Probably not. Many imitation nests are meant to be hung from trees or other tall places, but not all yellow jackets nest up high—most species, such as the common yellow jacket and the southern yellow jacket, build nests in the ground. 

Ensure proper ventilation, address leaks, and conduct regular inspections.

Whereas a honeybee can only sting you once, a yellow jacket can sting you multiple times because they don’t leave stingers in the skin. In the unfortunate case that you get stung by a yellow jacket, it’s important to react calmly and quickly. Immediately ice the affected area until the swelling subsides. You may also take an antihistamine if necessary. If you experience an allergic reaction to a yellow jacket sting or have been stung several times, seek medical care right away. 

Any tree that emits a sap or resin can attract yellow jackets. They are particularly attracted to the tree of heaven (Ailanthus altissima), which emits a sweet sap that both yellow jackets and spotted lanternflies love.

You might be tempted to call your local municipality to remove animals from your property, such as a groundhog burrowing in your yard or raccoons getting into your trash cans. However, they typically only remove domestic animals like dogs and cats from properties, or sick and injured wildlife that pose a public safety risk or health threat, such as a rabid animal. They typically do not capture or remove healthy wildlife.

Animal removal professionals have the tools, knowledge, and skills to trap and remove wild animals adequately and humanely. They also can relocate them correctly.
