I have families of rabbits living under my Thuja, with the
consequence that it's open season on the gardens until they mature a bit (I
plant flowers, not vegetables, but the damage is still very bad).
Over time, I've looked up and cooked up a homemade repellant
that works fairly well. Here it is:
In a one quart sprayer (or multiply by four for a 1 gallon
sprayer, and so on):
1 tsp Tabasco sauce
1/2 tsp dish soap
1/4 tsp white Elmer's glue (optional but very helpful)
(distasteful to rabbits, and helps the solution stick)
1 tsp Neem oil (optional but extremely helpful) (helps the
solution stick and mildly distasteful to rabbits)
Spray plants lightly; no need to soak the leaves. 1.5 quarts
covers 2,000 square feet of flower garden around here. Reapply after moderate
or heavier rainfall, this should stick through light showers.
