Cindy Sneeringer A. Hi Cindy. Rabbits are cute and cuddly in the pet store. We all remember Bambi's loveable friend Thumper. And as children we sympathized with Flopsy, Mopsy, Cottontail, and Peter in their struggle to circumvent the mean-spirited old Mr. McGregor. But when it comes to real life and our gardens, rabbits are the enemy.
Rabbits are persistent in their quest to nibble on our vegetation.
They are also greedy. The best cure for rabbits in your garden is an electrified fence that is low enough to the ground to ensure that rabbits cannot crawl underneath. This will be a labor-intensive project, but it will work. These traps are dangerous, however, so make sure young children are never in the area unaccompanied. Another popular deterrent is dried-blood repellant.
