Default Rabbits / Hares in Your Yard
I have an annoying group of rabbits / hares (whatever the giant ubiquitous Calgary rabbit is) that like to eat the bushes in my front yard.



Is there anything non lethal that will dissuade them from munching on my bushes (insert lesbian rabbit joke here) ? I have read conflicting reports on the efficacy of blood meal , but so far that's all I have come up with. Anyone else got a suggestion on how to get them to move on to my neighbour's bush and leave mine alone?

Give your neighbor a bunch of marigolds, the rabbits love them.

Rabbits can hold their own against cats quite well.

I don't think I would try bloodmeal. That and bonemeal attracts dogs.

The brother used to put mothballs in their flower beds to deter squirrels and neighbors cat from crapping in it. Not sure if it will also keep rabbits away.

What was Number 4?

Also I don't think Liquid Fence is licensed for use in Canada? Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
