I've done with these nests which I find in the eaves occasionally, is just
simply water. If I'm worried about the finish (or in your case, the
components) I use a thin sponge taped over the nest. Keep it soaked by
watering every day. Usually a week is enough for the nest to fall off. It
leaves a ring that I take off with a white (no scratch) Scotch Brite pad and
warm water.
I don't have that luxury---the eaves are too far above the ground. A
pressure washer does nicely. It may do well on this board, but I'd
advise caution. Another idea is to find someone with an ultrasonic
cleaning tank--it might well get the blasted thing out.
