We examine the effect of static primordial black holes on vacuum decay. In particular, we compare the tunneling rates between vacua of different values of the cosmological constant and black hole mass by pointing out the dominant processes based on a numerical examination of the thin wall instanton. Three distinct cases are considered, namely the nucleation of a true vacuum bubble into the false vacuum, the nucleation of a false vacuum bubble into the true vacuum as well as the Farhi-Guth-Guven mechanism. In order to increase the transition rate into an inflating region, we find that not only is the inclusion of a black hole necessary, but the inclusion of a cosmological constant in the initial phase is also required. In all cases studied, we show that the most likely scenario is the elimination of inhomogeneities in the final phase.
