Title: How to keep earwigs and other bugs out of contactors
Post by: Petetech on September 16, 2011, 01:41:05 PM
Does any body have any good ideas on how to prevent earwigs from getting into contactors in open, ventilated condensing units?

They sell a contactor with a cover over the paddle to prevent your problem, it costs about $10.  Also try using a boric acid powder, and sprinkle it around your condensing unit.
