Rabbit RepellentsI've gathered together all of the rabbit repellent products that have worked in my own or other gardener's yards. If you do decide to trap and relocate the voracious little varmits, here is a valuable hint. Do not touch or bait the trap without using plastic gloves. Rabbits may avoid your trap if they smell human scent. If you should touch the trap, you can hide most of the human scent by spraying the trap with apple cider. As Elmer Fudd so eloquently put it, "That Wascally Wabbit!" |

Repellex Systemic Invented in MN, this new systemic animal repellent allows capsaicin (hot pepper) to be absorbed into the plant by simply planting a tablet next to a growing plants root system. Once the repellent is absorbed over 7-30 days, the repellent will stay active for up to one whole year. Since the repellent is internally treating the plant, it will not wash off in the rain like traditional repellents do over time. Apply 1 tablet for every foot of plant height and width (height +width). This repellent is labeled and approved for repelling: rabbits, deer, moles, voles, gophers, groundhogs, dogs, cats and even feral hogs. See a video that tells all about it HERE. |
Liquid Fence I was using Plantskydd® Repellent, and it worked well, but I really did not like that it looked and smelled like blood. Liquid Fence works just as well for me and the odor only lasts one day after spraying. Liquid Fence® Repellent is biodegradable and environmentally safe. Best of all this easy to use, long lasting spray is family and pet friendly so you can use it worry free. The Liquid Fence® garlic and whole egg formula produces a scent that rabbits avoid. Applications are water-resistant through 4" of rain. Liquid Fence® is so confident that this product is safe and effective that they back it up with a written 100% money back guarantee. Quart concentrate mix ratio is 16to1. |
Rabbit Scram Repellent Rabbit Scram also worked well for me and it is easy to scatter around the plants that get chewed the most. Guaranteed to stop rabbit damage with no foul smell Rabbit Scram rabbit repellent is blended from selected organic and natural components that will not harm animals or the environment. Rabbit Scram is different from other rabbit repellents because it is sniffed off the ground by foraging rabbits before they enter your gardens. Because of its granulated formula Rabbit Scram doesn't wash off in normal rain and will last from 30 to 45 days. |
 Hot Pepper Wax One of the few repellents that you can use directly on veggies. Hot Pepper Wax is a combination of paraffin wax and hot pepper extract that will help to repel aphids, spider mites, thrips, leaf miners, whiteflies, lace bugs, leafhoppers and scale and will even keep some small animal pests at bay. Applied as a foliar spray, Hot Pepper Wax is safe and effective and dries to a flexible, transparent layer. The main ingredient is capsaicin, an extract from cayenne pepper. Can be used on fruits, vegetables, citrus, root crops, legumes, indoor & outdoor ornamentals and grasses. Will not harm foliage, stems, buds, fruits and blooms. |

 Garlic Clips Clipped to trees and shrubs, garlic clips form a powerful odor barrier. They allow the garlic odor out while protecting the ingredients from the weather, so they last up to 6 months. This bag of 50 garlic oil dispensers will repel deer and rabbits, reducing wildlife browsing damage on fruit, nut and vegetable crops, and ornamental plants. Place four to six feet apart to create a barrier around your plants. If necessary, increase the number of dispensers used until feeding stops.

 Shake Away Granules Another rabbit repellent that you can scatter where you need it and you don't need to use a messy sprayer. Shake-Away is a very effective repellent that's 100% organic and safe for animals and plants. Although undetectable by humans, the powerful fox-urine scent spells DANGER to rabbits and other small critters.
