How To Clean Out Pitot Tube

[Dynon101]

My pitot tube got blocked with some kind of bug residue. It is not the typical mud type blockage but looks more like bee pollen.

After I remove it I wanted to get some advice on how to clean it out.

I tried to blow it backward from the ADAHRS downward to pop the blockage out of the front of the pitot tube however my compressed air would not blow through so I need to remove the unit and clean it somehow without damaging it. The AOA probe is also plugged.

It's amazing I'm in the hangar practically everyday you think I would have noticed some bugs digging in there. Shoulda Woulda Coulda kept the cover on it

Not sure if there is anything that can be harmed but an ultrasonic cleaner maybe?

I think that I got it figured out!!!

I lowered the pitot probe from the wing and placed the dangling pitot probe in a bucket of hot water and waited a bit. Then I used compressed air and shot it down from the open end of the flexible tube from where the ADAHRS connection is and finally the blockage was opened up just a bit and the water soaked back farther and then I did the compressed sir trick again and it acts like a pressure washer for the inside of the tube...
