Rabbits and deer avoid the smell of
blood meal that has been sprinkled around. Reapply after a heavy rain. Corncobs
that have been soaked in vinegar for 5-10 minutes and scattered throughout the
garden work well too. After two weeks soak them again.
Fake owls and snakes work well, if you
move them every 2 or 3 days. People make the mistake of forgetting them; even
the dumb animals catch on fast to a fake predator.
Some folks
swear by planting Marigold perimeters. Others watch the rabbits eat the
Marigold perimeters; the jury will be out forever on this one.
Trapping
and relocating can be a trading of problems. You may be bringing them to a
place where someone else is trapping them and, unbeknownst to you, bringing the
furry little buggers back to your yard. If you suspect this, paint a little
spray dot on the wascally critter’s backside before you take it away.
Whatever
your solution to this problem, it will have to be fought with tenacity, for
your garden’s sake. To think they’re cute is to “cute” your way out of enjoying
the fruits of your labors.
