OT: I hate wabbits…

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.

[quote=UCGal]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.[/quote]

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.)

[quote=sdrealtor]Concidentially the coyotes in my neighborhood catch and eat about one cat per day. I can provide photos also.[/quote]

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.

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).
