Default Devil bunny

well I did and it has stopped the bests from distroying my iris garden. I
had built new beds and had moved over 200 iris over to the new beds and with
the sudden hard freeze we had in Nov. killing off all the normal grass out
in the field, for the 1st time in 8 years of growing iris they attacked my
garden, and out of 200+ iris transplanted into new beds I have just 12 left
in pots and one part of one bed has iris in it yet, I sprayed the AF there
and they've stayed away from that area. this was a very costly war during
these last 3 months as those iris did cost me $$ to order them. So for now
on my iris beds when they are re-built and new iris put in them, will get a
spraying of AF over them to keep the critters away from them.
the attached photo was taken last spring, and I know that iris was
distroyed.

maybe you could use what I found would stop the jackribbits from eating my
iris plants, ANTI_Freeze for cars.


I'm sure it worked for the rabbits - antifreeze is a very dangerous
product to use as a deterrent - it can kill any animal coming in
contact with it - either by consuming it directly, or getting it on
their feet or fur and then licking their feet, etc... this includes
household pets - and, it is a very slow, painful death... Animals are
attracted to antifreeze because of its sweet taste -

I truly would not recommend its use as a deterrent.
