Coach Dog Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Since I live in the city of Waconia, I can't use a gun to shoot the critters, so does anyone have a homemade remedy that I can put on my shrubs to keep the bunnies from eating them?

New Yankee Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 We've had good luck liberally sprinkling cayenne pepper on the leaves and around the bases. Doesn't take them long to figure out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

18 inch Crappie Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 Just because there is a law against guns in the city do not let that stop you, a CB short .22 will do the job and no one would ever know. I know because I lived in Fridley and took care of them for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enids Hubby Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 I have two live traps and have caught and relocated over 30 rabbits and they keep coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iffy Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 I know this sounds silly, but we fill clear plastic or glass quart jars with water and place them every few feet around the garden. For some reason, the rabbits stay clear. It really works. And we live in a rural area where there are rabbits everywhere. We got the idea from an older gardener in PR. We thought no way could this work, but decided to give it a try. It definitely works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Dog Posted August 13, 2007 Author Share Posted August 13, 2007 Thanks guys. I'll give the cayenne pepper a try. I think I'll stay away from using the deuce-deuce though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
