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.
thanks!!! I can do that. they are eating broccoli and lettuce and yesterday I went out and got more plants. Have to do something today, I was going to try garlic powder and soap shavings. I am going to lay the hose out too, I just read they will think it is a snake.
