Rabbit MACE Granular Rabbit Repellent

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is the difference between Rabbit MACE granular and liquid formulas?

  Rabbit MACE granular is formulated for long-lasting protection and offers excellent resistance to various weather conditions, including rain and freezing temperatures. It is best used for perimeter applications around flowerbeds, bushes, gardens, and landscapes. The granular formula is especially effective at protecting low-growing plants and shrubs that are under three feet tall.
  
  The Rabbit MACE liquid formula provides wider and more versatile coverage, making it ideal for taller plants and larger areas. It is available in both concentrate and ready-to-use spray forms. Liquid Rabbit MACE can be quickly and easily applied using spray pumps or sprinkler systems, making it perfect for extensive areas such as large gardens and landscapes. For maximum effectiveness, consider using both granular and liquid formulas together. The liquid repellent provides broad coverage, while the granular formula enhances protection around flowerbeds and low-level plants, creating a comprehensive barrier against rabbit damage.

• Will it stop rabbits from damaging flowers and plants?

  Yes. Rabbit MACE effectively protects your lawn, garden, and landscaping from rabbit damage. It works by creating a multi-layered barrier, altering the taste and scent of treated plants to make them unattractive to rabbits. The formula includes blood meal, signaling danger to rabbits and further deterring them from feeding on your plants. Regular application helps keep rabbits away and prevents repeat visits to your garden.

• Is Rabbit MACE safe for plants, pets, rabbits, and other wildlife?

  Yes. Rabbit MACE is safe for use around plants, pets, rabbits, and other wildlife when used as directed. It is made with plant-based ingredients such as garlic, egg, and peppermint. The repellent deters rabbits by creating an unpleasant scent and taste without causing any harm or poisoning. Rabbit MACE is gentle enough to apply directly to plants, making it suitable for use in gardens, landscapes, and around your home.

• Does it work in all seasons?

  Yes, Rabbit MACE repellents are designed for year-round use. A common misconception is that rabbits are only active during spring and summer and hibernate in winter. However, rabbits do not hibernate; they actively forage and browse throughout the year. During spring and summer, rabbits feed on flowers and vegetables, while in fall and winter, they prefer woody plants and shrubbery.
  
  Both granular and liquid Rabbit MACE formulas remain effective during winter, preventing rabbits from nibbling, browsing, and damaging plants. Applying Rabbit MACE during winter months helps maintain protection, requiring less frequent applications—typically about once per month—due to reduced plant growth. It is recommended to start applications in early spring to proactively deter rabbits before they begin to browse. The best time to start spraying is at the start of each growing season, especially following winter when rabbits actively seek fresh, new growth.

• Can I use Rabbit MACE on fruits and vegetables?

  We recommend applying Rabbit MACE to the ground and surrounding areas of your edible plants. While it can be applied directly to plants, avoid applying to the edible portions. Be sure to thoroughly rinse any fruits or vegetables before consuming them.
