Roaches are VERY adept at slipping thru the tinest cracks and into your home--plus many species fly very well so an open door or window is like a super highway--also the large American & Australian roaches can scoot down your bathroom vent pipe and navigate through some water and plumbing and show up in your bathroom..make sure you screen that little pipe. check out my little hint site for more info-I try to update it often www.pestcemetery.com Report Spam or Abuse RE: Roaches Coming In Through Air Conditioner?

Their appearance is not a sign of unclean conditions like their smaller cousin (food roach), but an attraction to moist or humid conditions.

Be sure to put it around the unit and not were the air flows. Make sure the air is off so it won't blow in your eyes or face. We also put it around the doors as these roaches can come in very small places and they can fly also. Triming bushes around your house will cut down on the roaches also.

They seem to be able to slip in with absolutely minimal space available, so I'm sure they can get in through an AC unit. Spray heavily around your unit (not into it). Be sure it is not about to rain. I would also spray inside and outside of all windows and doors. I've seen them slip under a door. They are hard to erradicate, so good luck. Report Spam or Abuse
