Pest season in Blythe

NOAA's 1991–2020 climate normals for the BLYTHE, CA station show an average temperature of 73.4°F, about 3.6 inches of precipitation a year spread over roughly 8 days with measurable rain or snow, 9 nights at or below freezing and 188 days reaching 90°F or more. Monthly averages never fall below 50°F (the coldest month averages 52°F), so ants, cockroaches and other insects can stay active outdoors year-round rather than going dormant for winter. Average temperatures are at or above 50°F all year.

Moisture and pests

Blythe is arid, with only about 3.6 inches of precipitation a year. In dry climates, pests concentrate around sources of water and shade, such as irrigated yards, drains, utility areas and the cooler indoor spaces of a home, especially during the hottest stretches (about 188 days a year reach 90°F).

Homes and pest entry points

The median year built for housing in Blythe is 1980, and about 50% of its 4,962 housing units were built before 1980. Homes from this era often have settled foundations, aging weatherstripping and wood trim that can let pests in, and many have crawl spaces or basements worth checking for moisture. About 26% of housing units are in buildings with two or more units, where cockroaches and bed bugs can move between neighboring homes through shared walls and plumbing.
