For exterior I think it's better to cover up with a wire mesh to prevent birds from nesting.

You found your wall cap yet? I don't have cockroaches but mosquitoes, can see a few stuck on the mesh every time I remove for cleaning. My main concern is birds nesting in the hole opening but so far no such incident yet. Having cap is a good idea.

The mesh I'm referring to are those that was installed on the hood, after awhile oil will accumulate therefore need to wash constantly. My air outlet don't have anything to cover that's why I'm a bit worried birds will start nesting.

For future unit I don't wanna install any hood, just put exhaust fan in wet kitchen. Easier to maintain as compared to hood where oil and grease will build up in motor and fan blades which is impossible to clean.
