Would a bit of napthalene mothball keep spiders and other small creepy crawlers out of the warmth of an always-on, so warm, bit of kit, or any better ideas to keep bugs out of there. Bose AWRC3G CD radio clock, started non playing of the odd CD then all CDs failed to play. Cleaning the lens, no difference, "Disc" in display, the same as with no disc in there. The whole unit was so full of fine spider web/cocoon silk? that you could not see the components of the PA/PS area. Odd bits of insect stuff around the optical unit. Removed the laser and lens unit from the sledgeway and air dusted under the lens area. Blew out the PA/PS area with 1kW blower. Now playing all CDs thrown at it, cured? I've twice previously come across bug cocoon/web actually inside the space under the lens of CD units ,in the laser firing line, as the fault cause.
