Bunnies in my backyard are eating all my flowers. Any ideas on how to get rid of this problem?

The bunnies have a burrow and have babies in my phlox bed.

The best non-insecticidal method is to put cyanne pepper around the bed. This will agitate them and they won't return. If you want to get nasty you could spread some human hair around there this causes their skin to break and bleed. If you are hard core you could put up an electric fence depending on your garden type. A standard electric fence for a small garden will probably run you like 100
Reply:I just submitted an aswer very similar to this one for woodchucks just moments ago. I imagine this will work for rabbits too.





Spread some dog feces in and around their hole. Wait for a day or two and then fill in the hole. You'll probably never see them again.





They regard this as the scent or presence of a predator.
Reply:plant marigolds and onion set most animals do not like the Oder and will stir clear of your plants
Reply:Hmm, maybe trap them and have ASPCA get them from you and maybe they can relocate them to a woodsy area away from homes.
Reply:Remove them and place them in your neighbors yard.
Reply:You can put a low screen around the flowers.


You can spray insectide in the burrow to make them move.


Or, you can put some corn in a varment cage, catch them and move them.
Reply:I heard that hanging a fake owl on a tree limp usually works , also works for pesty birds like sparrows etc.,but it does not work for squirrels,,they are too smart,,they figure it out,,
Reply:Put cat hair in your garden, or moth balls ,or a rubber hose that resembles a snake.
Reply:Get a little puppy or kitty kat.
