My garden is being destroyed by rabbits .I live in a rural area .The rabbits come in from adjoining land?

Question

owned by a large landowner .Do Ihave any rights

Answer 1

Try the product called Liquid Fence, I`ve used it on my garden for both rabbits and deer and it works very well at keeping them at bay.

Answer 2

You have the right to eat as much rabbit as you like! Though if you have finer feelings towards vermin you have a problem. Electric rabbit netting is available and quite effective-though initially costly as long as the battery does not go flat. Live traps are no solution-they only pass the problem on to somebody else! If you are in the U.K. there is a product called Renardine which is quite effective,but you may not like the smell of it yourself! Finally,Cats (I have found) are more efficient at controlling rabbits than Dogs.

Answer 3

The best thing I can tell you is that rabbits HATE the smell of marigolds I plant them all around my garden and I don't have a problem with rabbits or deer. I also live in a rural area with a 40 acre hay field behind my house. But if you don't want to trap or kill them plant the marigolds and they will stay away. Hope this helps ya

Answer 4

Rabbits are wild animals. Unless these rabbits are or once were pets of the people adjoining you, you only have the right to put up chicken wire around your garden and sprinkle coyote urine from the hardware store around the perimeter.

Answer 5

I truthfully have not had a issue with rabbits burrowing in my backyard to get to the flowers, yet I truthfully have had them devour the stuff above floor. I only used chicken twine over the stuff they prefer, both attaching it to the perimeters of my raised beds or making little cages to in high-quality condition over the fellow flowers (or team of flowers). it would nicely be left in position for some thing that has small stems and leaves as they're going to advance up by potential of it. Rabbits in problem-free words look to in problem-free words like the first leaves of larger flowers, so I only eliminate the twine at the same time as they have advanced their 0.33 or fourth set of leaves. chicken twine would nicely be discovered at any keep that sells fencing. you do not choose fence posts to apply it this way.

Answer 6

Bury wire mesh fence 18 inches and 3ft above ground, that should stop them. It might sound bad, but rabbit goes well with home grown tatties and a wee bit turnip while your trying to solve the problem.

Answer 7

of course a fence would work if you bury about a foot or so under ground to prevent burrowing under. also try putting a row of mothballs about 3-4 inches apart around the garden. some critters will NOT go near them. fi n thier trail and set a haveaheart trap nearby. one may be the easter bunny! good luck

Answer 8

You can shoot, trap and poison all you want, and you will never be rid of rabbits! Give them what they are looking for...food. Go to your local feed store, haybarn etc. and buy some alfalfa bales. set them around the outside of your garden. the rabbits will get to the alfalfa, and not risk being seen, or shot at. And yes a fence is a good idea always. and if your garden is already fenced, set the alfalfa outside the fence, so the rabbits really have no reason to go in.

Answer 9

Hang "hair socks" on posts/sticks whatever you have at hand. Fill old socks with your hair, pet hair, dryer lint, slivers of soap, dryer sheets (new or used), vacuum bag contents, and hang them around your garden. You can save your urine in a coffee can (I like the plastic "aroma seal" cans) and sprinkle around the perimeter of your garden.

No rabbits or deer in my 40' x 60' garden.

Answer 10

Yeah you can actually sue them! It's the law that you must control the rabbit population on your land so you can call Defra and make an official complaint, they will send out a letter or maybe visit your neighbour and if they still don't do anything you can sue. Go on to the Defra site for more info.
