Vultures are causing a major headache for U.S. Customs and Border Protection near the Mexican border in southern Texas.
A 320-foot radio tower for CBP in Kingsville is covered in feces, vomit and urine, Quartz reports.
About 300 vultures are roosting on the tower and disrupting communications because of the corrosive excrement.
The agency plans to clean and repair the radio tower and the install a “Vulture Deterrence Netting System” by August before the carnivorous birds’ roosting cycle begins in the fall.
