Or just relax and enjoy the fact that you have a little tiny wildlife sanctuary.  They will likely move out sometime during winter.

One thing I have done in the past with a storage building situation.  Put barrier around the entire thing except for one opening that faced the house.  They could only go in and out through that one place, and they didn't seem to like coming out right where they could be so easily seen.  They left.

I'm told you're wrong on this one from the previous owners and from every wildlife company I talked to yesterday.  They do too much damage for my taste and I don't run a wildlife sanctuary.  It'd be a killing field and I'm not up for another 2 months of torn K9 ACL re-cooping.

The barrier idea is the way I'm going once they're evicted.

I just had a red fox pass by my window....they crawl down the creek channels. He was looking hot and skinny. I almost mistaken it for a dog and did a double take. I used to have coyotes come near when I was putting the trash out but mid town south has never been the same since climate change progressed so far....

The climate change from woods to houses?

Ours come and go in a cycle that seems to be about two years.  i.e. for a couple years we will have a female and 3 or 4 batches of babies over a year and a half or two, then they move down the street (2 blocks or so) for a year or two.

You mean you can't control your dogs??  (Yeah, I know...I had beagles in the past, and they are the ultimate rabbit hunting dog.)

I can send ya my pup for a while.  He is a Shepard/Keeshond mix, and loves wabbit.

Nope.  Gonna keep the rabbit.  And the squirrels.  And the possum.  And the raccoon.  And the doves, grackels, and red-tail hawk that has taken up residence in the neighborhood.

I have heard that human hair is a rabbit repellent. You can get a bag from any salon.

I have also read that black pepper is a good deterrent.

I like birds but grackels are a pain.  They poop purple poop all over the place in mass quantities.  I would like a red-tail hawk.  Once in a while I hear an Owl.  I haven't gotten a good enough look to see what kind.
