OT: I hate wabbits...User Forum Topic
Submitted by flu on June 26, 2012 - 2:06pm
Growing up. Bugs Bunny was funny.... The wild wabbits that run rampant in parts of Torrey Hills...Not so funny. They keep eating all my flowers... Plus kid in house always says "ah, look at the cute bunnies"... Suggestions, besides getting a dog?

Three of their cousins are sitting in my backyard mocking me at this moment. You are not alone.
I feel sorry for you guys. Not only do you have to deal with lizards, now you have wabbits problem too?
I had a suggestion all ready to go until that last line.
We live on a canyon. We had critters of all sorts in our backyard until we got our dog.
It's really fun to see him bound after errant critters that come into our yard.
Since we have fruit trees - we get rats. (Even yuckier than rabbits). He has totally eliminated that problem.
Owl statue.
Hang cutouts of birds from a wire and let them blow in the wind.
Pet snakes
Very large rat trap.
Plant the same flowers in the front yard and let them take all they want.
Plant the same flowers in your neighbor's yard.
Shotgun - I have visions of a Chinese Elmer Fudd. Quite funny.
We have snakes also. Last month I came home to a 5 foot long snake sunning himself on my driveway. I think it was either a gopher snake or a king snake.

I already made this suggestion here once before and I'll make it again:
Your champion of all (above-ground and underground) tasks :=]
Wow, that's a big wabbit :)
Our cats catch and eat about one rabbit per day. I can provide photos.
Concidentially the coyotes in my neighborhood catch and eat about one cat per day. I can provide photos also.
Please do.
Please do.
The only thing gory I have is when I flatten a small gecko when it decided to sleep under one of my car's tires. Scraping it off the garage floor was kinda fun.
I believe you. Coyotes have wiped out the cat population in our neighborhood. There *are* no more cats.
I chased a coyote down our street with my car about 2 AM Sat...he was running for his life!!
I am sure I am going to hear shouts of animal cruelity but I would suggest an Airsoft rifle. My mother was having big issues with stray cats in the back yard and I bought her an M4 styled airsoft. It shoots 600 plastic BBs per minute is highly accurate at 200' and will scare and hurt (not enought to damage it) the animal as opposed to killing it. Hit the same rabbit it with it twice I doubt we will comeback.
BTW My 71 year old mother was hitting two inch targets with it at 70'. I think she is Carlso Hatcock incarnate.

flu -
I thought of you this morning when I came into work. Sorry for the crappy cell phone pic... I'm oldschool with a "feature" phone that's 3 years old.
Our frontyard flowers are all eaten too -- by deers! I saw 4 of them the other night. They came like a family. Look sooooo cute and everything. Next thing I know, all my geraniums are almost all gone. Damn deers!
One thing I was thinking about for reducing Rabbit and Deer plant consumption, would be to mix Tobasco sauce with water and spray on the plants. You might want to test spray one before doing the rest.
I also ran across these:

PS: Deers really love young avocado trees... as do rabbits.

UCGal: +1 on that.
We have four dogs and ZERO problems with rabbits, moles, squirrels, groundhogs, rats, mice and all other manner of small, furry woodland creatures.
Our littlest, Bella, is a pit/Jack Russell mix and a born hunter. At least 3x - 4x a week, we'll see her scurry past the kitchen window with some small, soon to be dead critter in her jaws.
The dogs also keep the coyotes at bay (we have two cats as well.)
so let me get this straight..
we have a problem with wabbits, cats, and now coyote?
To deal with the coyote I suggest you get a road runner.
and for the cat, get a yellow tweety bird...

Careful, the coyote might break out the Acme Corporation catalog and come up with all sorts of fiendish devices.
Th th th that's all folks!
Just take 11 seconds and watch this:

Would gladly tolerate the wabbits, if I could just teach them to eat the crows (aka RB chickens).
