That much rain feeds mosquitoes and softens wood, which is exactly what termites and carpenter ants look for. After a wet July, check the soil line along your foundation, keep mulch a few inches back from siding, and make sure downspouts carry water well away from the house. Hard freezes are rare here, so the calendar is really about wet and dry, not warm and cold.

A practical schedule looks like this. In early spring, watch for swarming termites and start an exterior treatment. Through the summer, empty standing water every week. In fall, seal gaps before cooler nights send rodents looking for shelter. In winter, keep an eye out for ants and roaches that stay active indoors when the weather never gets truly cold.
