How to choose a safe rabbit repellent? A safe rabbit repellent is a repellent that can keep rabbits away without causing undue harm to you, your pets, or your households. This repellent should not contain any toxic or irritating substances. The ideal choice should equally be humane so that no harm can come to the bunnies it repels. However, not all safe rabbit repellents are equally effective. Here we have outlined the best safe rabbit repellent solutions.
How to choose a safe rabbit repellent? Chicken wire is one of the best and safe rabbit repellent solutions. However, choose chicken wire with small holes as rabbits can squeeze through tight spots. Don’t forget to also bury your fencing material about 4 inches into the ground. This helps prevent rabbits from digging their way into the garden.
If you are only worried about vulnerable plants in your garden or lawn, then consider fencing units such as crop cages. Crop cages are usually lightweight and can be secured around plants you want to protect. Also, ensure to place the rebar in the ground at all corners. And attach the cage to the rebar to prevent them from being toppled.
Young trees will benefit from rabbits or mouse guards. These plastic bands wrap around the trees while providing ample space for them to grow. They will also stretch as the tree grows. Alternatively, you can build a small barrier or fence around each tree. Put three stakes in the ground around the trees, then attach a hardware cloth. Also, leave about two inches between the fence, and the tree to accommodate growth.
Fabric cloths can also make great protective covers over other plants. If you have a few special plants that need protection, consider covering them with fabric or shade cloth. You also need hoops to hold the fabric or shade cloth to the ground, firmly so that bunnies cannot enter from underneath them.
Some plants can help you repel rabbits. These plants often have pungent smells (that may be pleasing to humans) and prickly foliage that rabbits dislike. Some such rabbit repelling plants include:
Taste and odor-based commercially-prepared repellents come in many forms such as granules, concentrated liquids, and ready-to-use sprays. Sprays are the most convenient. You can quickly apply them across large perimeters and enjoy instantaneous protection. Concentrated repellents often require mixing before use as they offer a much larger space and give the best value. Altogether both liquid repellents can be used on trees, shrubs, ground cover, clover, grasses, sheds, lawns, and gardens. Granules often come in cans or shaker bottles which can be easily applied at strategic spots on your property. You can sprinkle granular repellents in flower beds, flowerpots, ground cover, pathways, burrows, and dens.
Nature’s Mace Rabbit Repellent are available in granular, spray, and concentrated forms. While Nature’s Mace sprays and granules offer superb water protection, you should combine either of them with granules as they are best under wet conditions. Nature’s Mace Rabbit Repellent is also a safe rabbit repellent. It is made from plant-based ingredients and combines both taste and odor substances to help you keep rabbits away. This repellent is fast-acting and will start providing protection just after application around your home.
Hence, you can look forward to solid protection against bunny invasion without worrying about harming those bunnies, or your pets and household. Read More…
