I have a walled garden but some places the wall isnt high - maybe 3ft - the rabbits jump over - any ideas to foil their attempts - have got 2 cats scarer machines trained on the veg but it macerated my herbacious plants just in - grrrr - no dogs or cats allowed here.

  1. will be hard some rabbits can leap over fences 5 feet . run rabbit run .


  2. hire an armed guard , its like 20 dollars per hour well worth the money, i got two tomatos thanks to having the guard, but the police confiscated the rest of my garden

  3. The farmers round me hire blokes with shotguns.

  4. Fox Urine

    You can buy it at your local sporting goods store. Fox are natural predators of rabbits and they want nothing to do with "marked territory". Simply sprinkle it around the perimeter of the garden.

  5. Shoot them lol

  6. Rabbit fencing. Its all in the name.

  7. Buy one of those cat statues and place it by the veggie plot or make a cardboard cut out of a cat and paint it black.

  8. Make a pot of fryers.

  9. add carrots, potatoes,onion, salt, pepper and garlic a turnip if you like, oh yea and rabbit. very tasty

  10. I know someone with similar problems and it is an anomaly indeed.  They tried everything you have and in the end resorted to a product you can get that plugs into the mains and sends out an ultrasound not audible to humans but it gets rid of pests, even moles.  Maybe your plot is a suitable location for such a device.  I do not have the details but I'm sure you could google it. Rabbits usually graze at night during set hours, so you could investigate this and set it on a timer to thwart them.  Also it is humane which I support.

  11. there is always a scare crow.

  12. try  beating the ground when you see a rabbit. a thump on the ground is a sign of danger to rabbits.

  13. try one of those fake owls they say they work.

  14. Keep them out of the garden

  15. You can purchase "Big Cat" (lion and tiger) manure from the garden centers. This practice was discovered in China and is just now catching on in the states. They have learned that spreading this "dung" around your property scares off Rabbits, Bear, Raccoons, Groundhogs, and even Deer.
