When it comes to the chemical composition, this is the most powerful and concentrated mixture existing. The most effective options were able to repel a range of animals: deer, racoons, and more, as well as rabbits. There are also physical options, including motion-activated sprinklers that spray unsuspecting rabbits with water and plain old chicken-wire fencing. Rabbits can be a nuisance for gardeners, as they can cause significant damage to plants and vegetables.

Some people have found the sprinkling vinegar or hot pepper flakes around their garden works to keep rabbits away.The Bob Vila team distills need-to-know information into project tutorials, maintenance guides, tool 101s, and more. If you go the sulfur route, just make sure that if you have a dog, you are keeping them away from where you spread the sulfur- they will want to sniff and potentially dig in those areas!

An electric fence makes a good animal deterrent and is strongly recommended if there is a woodchuck issue, in addition to a rabbit problem. When pests trip the motion sensor, the sprinkler comes on, spraying the animal with water and scaring it away. As we previously mentioned, rabbits have a powerful sense of smell and are wary of other animal’s urine.Ultrasonic: Ultrasonic repellents consist of a small box attached to a stake that sticks in the ground. In addition, you can lay a 2-foot wide piece of fencing flat on the ground around the outside of the garden fence to discourage digging. Yet it’s made of all-natural ingredients and is listed by the Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI) for organic use, so it’s safe to sprinkle freely in fruit and vegetable gardens as well as on flowers and shrubs. The University of Illinois Extension has a list of plants least browsed by rabbits and it doesn't include any vegetables.
