How to keep the bunnies from eating my shrubs?

[Coach Dog]

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?

We've had good luck liberally sprinkling cayenne pepper on the leaves and around the bases. Doesn't take them long to figure out

[harvey lee]

agreed with the C pepper.

I'll 3rd the pepper.

If it doesn't work out, I can get you the otc name of different chemicals that are geared towards keeping wildlife away.

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.

I have two live traps and have caught and relocated over 30 rabbits and they keep coming.

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.

Thanks guys. I'll give the cayenne pepper a try. I think I'll stay away from using the deuce-deuce though!
