How to prevent leaves getting in here

Is there a way to prevent this from happening. I can't get my hands in there very well. I have to bribe my kids to do it. Lol

Use a shop vac to get in there.

Leaf blower works well but not precise. Probably takes longer than other methods but it does the trick.

Was just working this a week ago. Just very gently used a long screwdriver to scrape out. Careful not to poke the radiators. I like the shop vac idea better although o need to get a thinner attachment head
