AMS Pest Control Coventry

03/09/2026

Anyone else noticed the mornings getting chilly in Coventry this week? The rats and mice certainly will have. Every September, as the weather turns and the fields and gardens empty out, they start looking for somewhere warmer to see out the winter — and lofts, garages, and airing cupboards suddenly become very attractive places.
It's just what happens this time of year once the cold sets in and food gets scarcer outside.
Worth keeping an eye out for over the next few weeks:
Small droppings near skirting boards or in cupboards
Gnawed packaging, wiring, or woodwork
Scratching or rustling in the loft during the evening and over night
It can be worth calling a professional pest control sooner rather than later as left unchecked a rodent infestation can grow rapidly and cause not only an unhygienic environment but also potential damage to your property.
If any of that sounds familiar, we work throughout Coventry and neighbouring villages and happy to come and take a look.

🐝 August in Coventry means BBQs, b**r gardens... and wasps gatecrashing the party!

If you've noticed more buzzing visitors around your garden this month, you're not alone. August is peak season for wasp nests here in Coventry and across Warwickshire — nests that started small in spring are now at their biggest and most active, which is exactly why this is the time we get the most callouts.

It's not just wasps causing a stir this month either:

🐜 Ants are on the move, following those sugary trails right into kitchens
🪰 Flies are thriving in the warm weather (bins and BBQ leftovers, we're looking at you)
🐭 And believe it or not, some rodents are already starting to scope out cosy spots for autumn

The good news? Most of these problems are much easier (and safer) to sort out early, before nests grow bigger or infestations take hold indoors.

We've lived and worked in Coventry for years, and there's nothing we like more than turning a "there's a nest in the shed and I'm not going near it" phone call into a "sorted, thank you!" one. No scare tactics, no upselling things you don't need — just honest, local pest control advice and a fast response when you need it.

If you've spotted a wasp nest, ant trail, or anything else creeping into your home or garden this August, give us a shout. We cover Coventry and the surrounding areas, and we're always happy to have a chat even if you're just not sure what you're dealing with yet.

🐝 Wasp nests. 🐜 Ants. 🐀 Rodents. Summer brings them all out — and dealing with them yourself isn't always as simple (or safe) as it looks.

At AMS Pest Control, we've been helping homes and businesses across Coventry tackle pest problems for years. We know exactly where wasps like to nest, how ants get into your kitchen, and what signs of rodents to look out for before things get out of hand.

Trying to sort it yourself can mean disturbed nests, repeat infestations, or missing the source of the problem altogether. Our trained technicians look to find the cause not just the infestation, using industry approved effective methods — so you're not left dealing with the same issue a few weeks later.

If you've noticed pest activity around your home this summer, don't wait for it to get worse. Coventry's trusted local pest control experts are just a message away.

Wasp Nest FAQs: We're Answering Your Questions

We get asked the same handful of questions on the phone every week, so we thought we'd put them all in one place for you. Save this post for later — you never know when you'll need it! 👇

"How do I know if it's actually a wasp nest?"
Look out for a brown, grey, papery structure tucked away in a loft, shed, garage. Lots of wasps flying in and out of the same spot is usually a dead giveaway too — worth a look if you've noticed extra buzzing around the house.

“Can I just spray it myself?"
We'd really recommend against it. Wasps release a pheromone when they feel threatened that warns the rest of the nest of danger — so what should be a quick job can turn into a genuinely nasty situation fast, especially if the nest is somewhere awkward like a loft or wall cavity.

"How long does a professional treatment take?"
Honestly, not long at all — most jobs are done in 20-30 minutes. We come fully kitted out, treat the nest wherever it is, and you can get back to enjoying your garden.

"Will the wasps come back?"
Once we've treated the nest properly, that's it wasps do not reuse an old nest.

"Do you cover my area?"
If you're anywhere in Coventry — Earlsdon, Chapelfields, Binley, out towards the Ring Road, wherever — chances are we've already been out that way. We know the city well!

"What if I'm not sure it's even a wasp nest?"
No worries at all, just give us a shout. We're always happy to have a look and point you in the right direction, a video or picture is often helpful.

Got a question we haven't answered, or a nest that needs sorting? Give us a call on 02476 265067 or send us a message on here.

As the weather warms up, wasp nests are popping up all over Coventry — in sheds, lofts, soffits, and those awkward little gaps under the eaves. What starts as a handful of wasps in June can turn into a nest of thousands by August, and a disturbed nest can mean a LOT of angry wasps very quickly.

🌎 On World Pest Day we released the No Small Matter report, and we've been sharing some of the key findings.

The report found that pest control is still often reactive. Around 64% of pest management activity takes place after a problem has already emerged.

Delayed pest control intervention costs an average of £700 more per case in direct costs. Early action matters. 💸

Where there is no professional intervention at all, businesses and individuals face around £2,000 more in costs compared to where professional help is sought. 😧

🐀 New Build Property? You Could Still Have a Rat Problem.
Many homeowners in Coventry assume a brand-new property means no pests. Not true — and we're seeing it regularly across new developments in Coventry, Kenilworth, Bedworth, Leamington and Warwick.

Here's why new builds are vulnerable:
🏗️ Construction can disturb existing colonies — displaced rats and mice head straight for the nearest warm shelter. Your new home.
🔧 Gaps — unsettled pipework, utility entries and cavity walls give rodents easy access. Mice need only a hole the size of a 5p coin.
🌿 New landscaping is perfect harborage — fresh turf, bark chippings and shrubs create ideal nesting ground right outside your door.
⚠️ Watch for: droppings under the sink, gnaw marks or holes opening up outside, scratching sounds in walls at night.

Rodent problems escalate fast and can cause serious damage to wiring and insulation before you know it. Don't wait.

We offer professional rat and mice control across Coventry, Solihull, Leamington Spa, Warwick, Balsall Common and the wider West Midlands — with fast response times and discreet treatments.
