Help! Rabbit repellent ideas? Cannot include fencing. I have moth cakes, insect repellent, cayenne pepper, green mouse poison cubes, common garage items. Never had a problem in 35 years!
Similar ingredients to commercial ‘Repels All.’ If you’re spraying on salad greens, be sure to wash them thoroughly before you eat them! ;)
Recipe for DIY Homemade Rabbit Repellent
1 teaspoon crushed red peppers
1 tablespoon dish soap
5 garlic cloves
1-gallon water
Empty milk jug
Peel garlic cloves and place into a milk jug. Add dish soap and crushed red peppers along with 1 gallon of water. Shake the container to mix ingredients.
Place the jug in the sun for two days to ensure the water becomes entirely concentrated with the ingredients. Shake well before using repellent. Apply to plants targeted by rabbits.
Reapply every five days for several weeks before you begin seeing results. In case of heavy rain, reapply as soon as the weather clears to ensure the mixture remains effective.
I use a Rain Bird motion activated sprinkler to deter pests in the garden...
