"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!"

"I asked the new owner (Tim Smith has sold the business to one of his former employees) to check the chimney cap installed by their business several years ago, due to a bird in the flue recently and, while here, to clean my dryer vent. The new owner and a trainee arrived to perform the requested services. The owner made no effort to get on the roof to check the cap; he said he could tell ("190% certain") from closing the cap from the fireplace opening that it was sealing propertly. Sounds like nonsense to me. He and his trainee then moved to cleaning the dryer vent. Here a total of less than 1 hour and essentially only cleaned the dryer vent, at a cost of $139. Pretty pricey vent cleaning. This was a reasonably priced, reputable business when owned by Tim Smith. I will not hire again."

If you’re looking for humane and efficient wild animal removal services, you’ve come to the right place. Varment Guard Wildlife Services was founded in 1983 and has been passionate about delivering environmentally conscious and safe wildlife pest removal services ever since. From rowdy raccoons to ornery opossums to damaging deer, bats, moles, or groundhogs, we have experience solving and preventing many types of wildlife challenges. We offer wild animal removal services to Minnesota, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and parts of Kentucky and Wisconsin. So, if you’re wondering, where can I find quality wildlife services near me? Look no further. Varment Guard has you covered.

"A section of our gutter was dislodged from our house and a squirrel made a hole in the fascia board to give her a place to have babbies. Prior to making the gutter and fascia repairs, my wife heard noises in our spare bedroom walls and we contacted Plunkett's Pest Control (AKA Varment Guard) who have been spraying our home for bugs annually. While the $400 estimate for placing traps sounded expensive since they wouldn't guarantee to remove the squirrels, we authorized the inspection and trapping. They set 2 live animal traps on our roof near the entrance hole and inspected it on a daily basis for nearly 2 weeks before they finally caught a squirrel. Dan Sylvester was the technician who performed the daily inspections. After catching the first squirrel, Dan advised that it was a mother squirrel and he anticipated that here babies would venture out within a few days. Sure enough, the 2 smaller squirrels were caught in the traps a few days later. While we thought that we heard additional activity in our walls a few days later, Dan stopped at our house and inspected our attic through a trap door in a closet to make sure that there weren't any more squirrels. Afterwards, we had the fascia board and gutter repaired. We're happy that Dan caught the squirrels and took them away from our home without hurting them. He seems like a very nice person who has concern for wildlife. We are extremely pleased with his professionalism, diligence, patience, and perseverance in moving the squirrel family to a better location in a nice wooded area far away from the walls of our home."

Animal Removal questions, answered by experts

If you’re dealing with a bee colony on your property, you might wonder if they’ll leave naturally over time. The answer depends on their circumstances. Bees often relocate if the hive becomes overcrowded, food is scarce, or they face a threat. With that said, if a hive’s location is safe, warm, and with plentiful food sources, they are unlikely to relocate on their own, and the hive may persist for many generations.

Bees usually have thicker, fuzzy bodies, while wasps have slender, smooth bodies. Behavior and nesting also differ.

Yes, they apply humane techniques, prioritizing environmental balance while addressing bee concerns.

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. 

In certain cases, yes, the bees may go away on their own, but it’s a risk. Some bee types, such as bumblebees, create seasonal nests and then die out as their new queens seek homes elsewhere. But in most cases, you can’t count on the bees leaving naturally. It’s also not a great idea to leave openings in your walls any longer than you have to, which can attract other pests or cause moisture damage.
