Cleaning bugs out of AC evaporator

Noticed numerous critters(bugs) lodged into the AC evaporator during my frequent under the bonnet inspection. Tried to clean the bugs out with compressed to no avail. So now what? Found our refrigerator brush-the long skinny type- and voila-it worked. Just thought I would pass that on if this revelation was not already been posted.

Foaming condenser coil cleaner from a heating/airconditoning supply store works wonders to remove gunk from radiators and such. My mechanic showed the stuff to me and I was incredibly impressed as I watched the expanding foam pull out more junk than I could have imagined was stuck in there.
