Rabbits in the backyard. How do I get rid of them?

[AquaMan]

You definitely do not want your dog to eat a poisoned rabbit.

Now if anyone has any mole tips, I'm listening.  I've always heard to get rid of the moles you get rid of the grubs, I've yet to ever find a grub.... I am trying to avoid poisons - so much so that I'm currently trying to get him with one of these medieval looking mechanical execution devices.  No luck so far.

I've tried a lot, including the mechanicals. Nothing seemed to work. They really irritate my little Australian Silky who is a ratter by trade. I came across the Skunk Whisperer at the store one day and he told me the only real way is to have the worst yard on the block! The good lawns attract the bugs and grubs and that attracts the moles. I don't have a sprinkler system so, sure enough, since the drought hit hard the yard is suffering and the moles have moved to greener pastures.

I know how to get rid of rabbits. 

I have a recipe!

You want repellent?  HERE'S YOUR REPELLENT!



It just seemed like a good idea at the time.....

Let me know if you find a way to kill those plant destroying pests.

Doesn't work for me.  Mole tunnels in the dust.

Country moles eh? Around these parts (inner city) its easier to just move along to a better yard. Out there they just adjust I guess.

So, you have that image in your head all night?

Somehow I managed to get it out.  Pre-teens are good for blanking ones mind.

Spraying deterrent under the decking today.  Wait 3 days and install barriers.

If that doesn't work, give the dogs a prybar and teach them to use it without opposable thumbs.

If that doesn't work, we may still have a coon trap here at my shop you can borrow (I work amongst hillbillies).  Lemme know if you wind up needing it.

I appreciate the offer.

Apparently rabbits are one of the hardest to use a trap with.  You have to make the place they've decided to call home unfriendly.  I like the structure so no arson.   Not a fan of snakes so scratch those.  The dogs can't get to them so pass on that.  No poisons in the back yard with kids coming over and dogs using the yard. 

Looks like we make it smell strange to them and block them from coming back.

Stupid rabbits.

I appreciate your problem but...  "Stupid rabbits"?  Who's winning at the moment.

(Yes, I am losing to "Stupid moles".

In fairness, this just started and the bunnies are entrenched.

I'll let you know how it goes as the issue plays out.

Hopefully it doesn't lead to me getting arrested for illegally burning a structure in South Tulsa.
