Hey all,

I noticed I have some wild rabbits in the nearby woods going to my lawn and eating my grass and leaving droppings all over my backyard. Anyone have any suggestions on what I can do to keep them away?

Free fertilizer I have rabbits visit my backyard all the time. They really don't bother the lawn much

I had that problem right after we installed our sod. I left the dog outside for a while and let her out now anytime they are back there. They were leaving huge bare spots in fresh sod.

My yard is surrounded by a cinder block fence so ymmv

Damn rabbits ate 2 of my rose bushes.

I haven't found anything to keep them away either, so I'm interested in this thread. However, I have noticed that they prefer tall grass. So they'll stay in neighboring lots if those lots are a little overgrown.

I have had issues with them eating flowers before.

I have had issues with them eating flowers before.

I caught a neighbor from an adjoining neighborhood releasing a rabbit from a humane trap in front of our entry. The Damn rabbit ran straight towards the neighborhood. :evil: As @wardconnor would say, It was a real pisser offer!!!

Now, we only plant rabbit resistant flowers such as Joseph's Coat and SunPatiens. They will mow through pansies.

Rabbits make for a really good dinner, just FYI. So if you can capture them...
