Late winter (Feb-Mar)

Spring activity typically starts

Through December, often year-round

Fall activity typically extends

What this means for scheduling prevention in Phoenix: zone 10a's winters (average extreme minimum 30 to 35°F) determine how much winter die-off actually happens versus how much pest activity carries through. In a zone this mild, that translates directly into when preventive treatment actually matters most — scheduling a spring treatment right as activity resumes (rather than after you already see a problem) is more effective than a fixed calendar date that ignores your actual local climate.

Seasonal windows above are a general framework derived from real zone/temperature data, not a species-specific forecast — exact timing varies by pest type and by year's actual weather, which a local specialist tracks directly.
