need a method to repel neighborhood rabbits

[mikemorvan]

Neighborhood rabbits are eating the wife's flowers. We've planted several flower species that rabbits are not supposed to like. But we have some that the little bastages are eating up. Mostly daylilies. I've tried the Liquid Fence products with little noticeable effect. Anyone have any proven rabbit repellents? I'm about ready to go to the Benjamin / Gamo / Daisy method of proven varmint control. Kind of dicey in a nice, new, neighborhood though. Any help will be appreciated.

.177 without hesitation.

If you smother them in gravy, they will quit eating flowers. Pellet guns work perfectly.

There’s something about that gravy that puts a damper on unwanted activities……..

I remember a post about a bow and arrow in the front yard and the neighbors watching the rabbit die could be good

22LR suppressed
22 cal air rifle to the head
.177 cal air rifle to the head
Or a lot less fun a net wire fence!

A friend tells me that he uses a handheld thermal and .177 with good efficacy

My wife bought a product at Walmart named repellsall. I see rabbits around the veggies, but have yet to see them in it. You just sprinkle it around the area you don't want critters and lightly water it in. Not sure if that's what is keeping them out, but I'm a believer.

I tried live trapping them but they figured out the trap. I hit one with a blunt from my recurve, rabbit with arrow sticking in it ran under my deck and that’s where he and the arrow will stay.

My wife tries red pepper flakes.

I moved up to my 12 gauge Browning Gold with #2 steel and a full choke. Smokes the little besrsterds.

I’d get a 22 pellet rifle in a residential neighborhood. There must be videos on YouTube on how to build a suppressor to further quiet.
