with a mega Dell Vista at Canaveral Inlet, I was appawled watching roaches slither into the speaker grilles.

I was told the electronics are clear coated.

Roaches have to eat off course n leaving for the desert solved he problem.

Replacing fans found debris that does not interfere with operation via the clear coat. I guess there is a cost/insect proof curve here.

Insects are evolutionary durable. But eating is essential

Try gas. Fab or buy, a Pelican ?... leak roof box n find a not breathable not toxic gas. Afield, something like AC gas or ? just guessing.

Propane .... need to find if the gas dissolves plastic n clear coat.

Your nayborhood exterminator n electronics man will know.

leave the unit, take the covers off, in the box for 2 weeks.

then blow out the eggs with compressed air.

your basic problem was leaving the unit exposed to possible insect infiltration.

If you're in a buggy environment the laptops n equiPment go into containers n bags with insecticide.

oh yeah..... Home Depot has a gas emitter...the one I have is a sheet of white plastic housings that eliminated a common black under carpet bug from muh van.

when I pass by that area I'll look n post the brand.

PLACE UNIT IN LEAKPROOF CONTAINER ADD ALL INSECTICIDE HOUSINGS. SEAL. COME BACK 2 WEEKS.

a tealight candle makes a pretty good oxygenless gas emitter.

Vapona strip type things also work, they give off insecticide whiff for months. Toxicity to different species varies according to the chemical. Organophosphates like dichlorvos are very effective.
