I seem to remember a segment of Maryland Outdoors (PBS) a number of years
ago about the vulture plague of Deep Creek Lake in Western MD. It seems
that the birds were roosting on the pontoon boats, and when they vomited
on the in/outdoor carpeting on the boat decks, the HCL in their stomachs
dissolved the nylon carpeting. I can't remember if they found a
deterrent or not.
