Pest season in Duarte
NOAA's 1991–2020 climate normals for the SAN GABRIEL FIRE DEPT, CA station (about 10 miles away) show an average temperature of 66°F, about 15.7 inches of precipitation a year spread over roughly 22 days with measurable rain or snow, 1 nights at or below freezing and 64 days reaching 90°F or more. Monthly averages never fall below 50°F (the coldest month averages 57°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.
