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.

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).
