If you never had them(it) before, what's new or different?


When I say never - never in the 6 months we've been here

There is not much you can do without a strong mesh fence (embedded at
least
a foot into the soil), but.. try removing any piles of cuttings, low
covering plants, stone piles or other debris to prevent the rabbits from
hiding there. a place with little cover is not attractive to any
intruders,
not just Rabbitts! Try planting garlic, onions or Mexican marigolds in
your
garden. Hawks and owls are natural predators of rabbits, so you might
consider building nesting boxes for these birds. You could try sprinkling
around the garden pepper or talcum powder, or even setting out a section
of
garden hose that may look like a snake to the rabbit....

Where they dug there was no cover at all - the biggest hole was bang in the
middle of the lawn! Might try sprinkling a bit of pepper around the borders
though.
