Autumn is here, and so are the uninvited house guests 🍂🐭
Every October, as the nights draw in and the temperature drops, we get a rise in calls from Coventry homes about the same thing: scratching in the loft, droppings behind the cooker, or that “I’m sure I just saw something dart across the kitchen floor” moment.
You’re not alone, and it’s not a sign your home is dirty. Mice and rats are simply looking for somewhere warm, dry and quiet to see out the winter, and our houses tick every box.
A few things you can do this week to make your home less inviting:
- Seal gaps around pipes and air bricks (a mouse can squeeze through a gap the width of a pencil)
- Store dry food, pet food and bird seed in sealed containers
- Clear clutter from garages, sheds and under the stairs
- Keep bins closed and tidy up garden waste
If you’ve already spotted signs, don’t panic and don’t leave it. Early action is quicker, kinder to your wallet and far less stressful than waiting until it’s become a full-blown problem.
We’re a small family run business here in Coventry, so when you call, you’ll talk to one of us, not a call centre. We’ll explain what’s going on, give you an honest price upfront and only treat what actually needs treating.
Got a question or want some friendly advice? Drop us a message or give us a ring.
And if a neighbour, family member or friend has mentioned they’ve been hearing things go bump in the night, feel free to tag them. 😄

🐀 Rat Facts That'll Make You Rethink Coventry's Sneakiest Residents 🐀
Let's talk rats, Coventry. Not exactly a glamorous topic, but stick with us — these little troublemakers are more fascinating (and more determined) than you'd think.
Did you know a rat can:
🦴 Squeeze through a gap the size of a 50p coin? Their skeletons are basically built for sneaking in.
🦷 Chew through wood, wires, and even soft concrete? Their front teeth never stop growing, so they have to continually gnaw.
🏊 Swim for up to three days straight and hold their breath underwater for several minutes? Yep, they're coming up through your pipes too.
🐣 Have a litter of pups every 3-4 weeks, with 5 to 12 babies at a time? Two rats can become a serious problem faster than you'd believe.
🌙 Be masters of staying hidden? Most people never see the rat itself — just the signs it leaves behind (droppings, gnaw marks, that scratching in the loft at 2am).
Interesting as those facts may be, rats in your home or business are a different story entirely — especially with Coventry's mix of old terraces, canalside buildings, and busy commercial units giving them plenty of places to set up shop.
If you've spotted the signs (or just have a nagging feeling), don't wait for the problem to multiply — literally. Fast, discreet, professional rat control means peace of mind and a rodent-free property.

🐭🐀 Early Autumn = Rodent Season in Coventry
As the temperature starts to drop, it's not just us reaching for the jumpers — rats and mice are on the move too! Right now, rodents across Coventry are actively searching for a warm, dry place to shelter for the colder months ahead... and unfortunately, our homes and businesses tick every box for them.
Signs you might have unwanted visitors:
* Droppings near skirting boards, cupboards or lofts
* Scratching or scuttling noises at night
* Gnaw marks on joists, wiring or food packaging
* Greasy smear marks along walls, they regularly travel the same route
* A musty smell in and around the house
Mice and rats are creatures of habit — they'll often reuse the exact same entry points year after year, from gaps around pipework and air bricks to loose brickwork and drains. The good news? Right now, before they properly settle in, is the easiest time to stop them getting comfortable.
Our advice for this month: take a walk around the outside of your home and look for any gaps a pencil could fit through — that's often all a mouse needs!
If you've spotted any of these signs, or just want some friendly advice on proofing your home or business ahead of winter, we're here to help. We work right across Coventry and the surrounding areas, and we'd always rather help you prevent an infestation than deal with one further down the line.

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.
