How do I keep those pesky rabbits from destroying my flower beds, I have tried the ugly marigolds, no luck?
Question:
Answers:
Build a little fence around your flower bed that's big enough that the rabbits can't jump over it.
I'd sit above the garden in camo gear quietly for the night with a 12 guage shotgun. When they came out and started nibblin on my goods I'd empty about 13-17 shells into thier little lifeless bodies
Try cayenne pepper, paprika and/or cinnamon. It worked for me and my swiss chard.
Any lowes or home depot has a spray that is supposed to keep rabbits and deer away from your plants. I can't think of the name of it, but they say it works good.
Shotgun. Rat poison.
If you know anyone with a cat that uses a litterbox ask them to give you the used litter. I read that to spread it around the edges of a garden will keep animals away. Just don't put it in the garden, only around the edge of it. Or maybe try peeing in a bucket and pouring it around the edge. It's the smell of another animals urine that keeps them away.
look this is e-z fun and nice too the rabbit plant some carrots and sweet pea's at the end of the garden where the rabbit comes in or by where it lives and you can feed it and keep it out of you flowers.. you got to love the animals and the flowers....
Those marigolds only work to protect themselves! You need to put up a low fence, that's the only way I could keep them out. . .
Purchase Rabbit and Dog Chaser from your local garden store.
It is dried blood, Cayenne pepper,Tabasco sauce, and moth balls all ground down to powder. Lay it in rows around your plants every two weeks. A bag is only a few dollars.
I use good old fashion moth balls, they really work. Just sprinkle them on the ground and by your flowers, rabbits run from the smell, and wont hurt your flowers or soil.
You could try these garlic dispensers made for deterring rabbits and deer from plants. I tried them one year after the moth balls didn't work for me.

I have also bought the big container of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes (can get from Costco or Sam's Club in spice aisle) and shook them over the plants that the rabbit's seemed to be going to.
And the best deterrent - my dog. Huskies love to chase rabbits! ; )
