[Rhodes22-list] Organic deck deposits

[David Bradley]

There is supposedly an ultrasonic sound device that drives birds (and
mice) off.  I haven't seen it in a marine store - maybe in a farm
supply store?  Would imagine it would need shore power.

I thought I somehow had immunity from this until I repositioned my boat to a new spot at Boca Ciega... no such luck.  Some pet stores have a solvent for removing stains, although I have had very mixed results.  Water birds are especially potent.
