Rabbit Pest Control
No more than 100 years ago, rabbits weren’t that big of a problem. Typically a rabbit population would be hunted by predators like foxes, hawks, and coyotes to control rabbits. In the cities today, there are many of these predators at all. Since rabbits can reproduce quickly many gardeners now face rabbit pest control problems. The only limitation to the rabbit population is food in the area. Hungry rabbits will do just about anything to eat your flowers, fruit, and vegetables.
One of the effective ways of dealing with rabbits is using a physical barrier. One option is to have a foot and a half fencing around your garden or to put your garden in raised beds or containers so the rabbits can’t reach it. Another is animal meshing that can keep rabbits or other animals away from the plants. For the most part these work well, just look for places where the rabbit or other pests might dig to get around the barriers.
These “city” rabbits have rarely come in contact with a predator. Take advantage of this and use something like fox urine or coyote urine. To a rabbit who has rarely smelled the scent of a predator, this will be a big shock and make them scared to be around your garden in fear of being caught.
Another strategy is to use repellents that will have a foul scent to rabbits or make the plants they try to eat taste horrible. There are products like Deer Away that will repel rabbits as well. Read the labeling on many of these products because they normally repel more than just the name on the product.
Motion activated sprinklers will help against rabbits as well. When they cross the path of the sprinkler, it will shoot a stream of water scaring the rabbit. This can teach a rabbit to not be in the garden.
