Can nests be preserved?

Have cleaned out the nest box in the garden and removed the blue tit nest, and as it's so pretty and interesting I wondered if there's any way to preserve it? mostly worried about killing any bugs and mites in it as I don't want to accidently infest the house!! Any recommendations or advice? 

Thanks!!
