No! That would just drive them in farther.
Yep. OR take the toothpick route. Or leave it that way.
Hmmmm. I'm wondering if a would help....

I've had to clean these and radiators for many years for equipment used on the farm and for our business. Only 2 people are trusted to do this none of our employees are just my wife and I. On the trucks used on the farm and for the Diesel 35 HP. Mowers 72" JD out front ones. Go slow while doing this and start with low air pressure as its easy to bend the fins if your careless.
I bought a special one from Mac Tools an Air Hose ext. with a handle/trigger and a 30 deg. bend on the end of a 36" metal wand 1/8" OD. and cleans the bugs, seeds very well. I keep this one in my tool box in the shop but made 3 more out of 1/8" copper with just a bend on the end and a air coupler on the other with a valve to adj. psi. it works OK also and cheap to make.
