Three of their cousins are sitting in my backyard mocking me at this moment. You are not alone.
June 26, 2012 at 2:29 PM #746541anParticipantI feel sorry for you guys. Not only do you have to deal with lizards, now you have wabbits problem too?
June 26, 2012 at 2:33 PM #746543UCGalParticipantI 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.

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.
June 26, 2012 at 3:10 PM #746555sdrealtorParticipantWe 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:

Wow, that’s a big wabbit 🙂
June 26, 2012 at 5:03 PM #746570scaredyclassicParticipantOur cats catch and eat about one rabbit per day. I can provide photos.
June 26, 2012 at 5:06 PM #746571sdrealtorParticipantConcidentially 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!!
June 26, 2012 at 10:30 PM #746583CDMA ENGParticipantI 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.
