Bugs such as roaches and spiders, for instance, can get caught in the ductwork, and start to cause problems there. Pretty much anywhere in your HVAC system, though, can be affected by pests, and should be a target for active pest management. There is a lot you can do to keep bugs and pests from getting into your HVAC unit, and your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/contact-galmiche.php\">heating &amp; air conditioning<\/a> service professionals at Galmiche &amp; Sons in St. Louis can also help.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fill_Gaps_and_Remove_Debris\"><\/span>Fill Gaps and Remove Debris<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The best way to prevent issues with pests is to stop them from entering your HVAC unit in the first place. This can be a little tricky as your HVAC system is set up to allow easy and unimpeded <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/common-reasons-for-poor-hvac-airflow\/\">HVAC airflow<\/a> throughout the home. So vents offer a clear way in to any pests or bugs, plus the outdoor unit of your AC is especially susceptible to pests that might not be in the home at all.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/keep-bugs-and-pests-from-hvac-system-2-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"Keep Bugs from Your HVAC Unit\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-6232\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/keep-bugs-and-pests-from-hvac-system-2-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/keep-bugs-and-pests-from-hvac-system-2.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>One thing you can do is remove debris and vegetation from around this outdoor part of your HVAC unit. That will reduce the likelihood of pests coming in, as well as making it easier for your HVAC system to stay clean and free of grimy buildup. You can also install screens on your outdoor air vents to keep even the tiniest of intruders from making it into your HVAC unit.<\/p>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<p>From there you want to check for gaps and leaks all along your HVAC system. In particular, you should check all of your ductwork for leaks that might allow pests to get in. Once pests are in the ducts they are unlikely to make it out, so this can really become a problem for proper airflow and HVAC function quickly. Covering any leaks or gaps will keep your ductwork safe in the future. You should also check out the inside of the ducts to see if there are already bugs to remove, and get that done as soon as possible to keep your HVAC unit working well.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Schedule_a_Cleaning_for_Your_HVAC_Unit\"><\/span>Schedule a Cleaning for Your HVAC Unit<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Your HVAC service team can clear out pests from your ductwork, or any other part of your HVAC unit as part of your regular <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/hvac-cleaning-you-cant-afford-to-skip\/\">HVAC cleaning<\/a>. If this is not usually part of your cleaning, you should ask for it to be included in your next maintenance visit and &#8212; in the meantime &#8212; you should check out your ducts and other parts of your HVAC unit to see if pests might be an issue.<\/p>\n<p>There are a lot of things you can do on your own to deter pests, and even to deal with them once they have invaded, but some things are best left to the professionals. Clearing bugs from ducts, for instance, can be tricky because it is hard to spray insecticide on the whole interior. Heating &amp; air conditioning professionals have developed effective methods for removing pests from hard-to-reach places, and we can also check your HVAC unit to make sure there is no damage from pest infestation.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Find_Out_More_About_Keeping_Your_HVAC_Unit_Free_of_Pests\"><\/span>Find Out More About Keeping Your HVAC Unit Free of Pests<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>For more information on how to keep your HVAC unit happy and free from pests, connect with our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/contact-galmiche.php\">heating &amp; air conditioning<\/a> professionals today!
