Injecting strong odors, keeping lawns mowed and litter picked up, obstructing access to food sources, and using repellents are ways to keep rabbits out of the garden. Rabbits dislike alliums such as garlic and onions and like grasses and piles in and behind which to hide. They likewise do not appreciate the use of mesh fences (built 18 inches [45.72 centimeters] above ground and 2 inches [5.08 centimeters] below ground, row covers, or trunk wire cylinders, supplemented by applications of bloodmeal, hot peppers, powdered rock phosphate, and talcum powder.

If you have a rabbit problem in your garden, you can put in a large fence, or try a natural spray - like Liquid Net Deer and Rabbit Repellent. Enviormentally safe, will not harm plants, dries odorless and guaranteed by liquidfence.com America's #1 Selling Deer and Rabbit Repellent is 100% natural While fences might work - they also can be dug under so you need to bury the fence to keep rabbits out. And Deer require a 8 foot fence. This is not what you want to see in your garden is it? A myth - try plenty of blood and bone used frequently. They think there are foxes around and keep clear. Big and Deep Fence, Dog, You can also plant garlic around the perimeter of your garden.

A Jack Russel terrier is the guaranteed cure.

If you have rabbits in your garden, you could shoot them or get someone else to. If you prefer not or you live inside a community where shooting weapons is illegal, and you want to get rid of them nicely, get some dog hair or something that hunts rabbits put it in a bottle of water that just covers the surface of the hair. Shake it up, leave it for 2 weeks, and presto, the rabbits will be able to detect the scent when applied around their burrows; they wont like it and move on as they think a predator is near. This is what I did and it worked.

Predator urine can be purchased at most gardening stores. When sprayed around the perimeter of a garden, it will keep out most pests like rabbits for a short time. Unfortunately, nothing will keep them out forever, no one thing that is. The suggestion above is a good option to throw in the mix. Try human hair also. Tieing aluminum pie plates that twist and flash in a breeze will deter them for a while. Tin cans that jingle in a breeze will work for a short time. Rabbit-proof fences are good if you bury them deep enough around the perimeter (good rule of thumb is three feet down and three feet up--that is three feet above and below ground level, but six feet of fencing and a three foot deep trench are more work than most people want to invest).

Also ferrets would be a very good way to flush out the rabbits for you and then you can release them if need be.

You don't. If a rabbit needs to be euthanized, take it to the vet, and the vet will do it. Only a vet can euthanize a pet animal. If you simply don't want the rabbit anymore, contact your nearest HRS chapter, or a local animal shelter or humane society. (See links below.)

You don't. Not only is it incredibly immoral to kill a pet animal but, depending on where you live, it's probably illegal.

If you don't want your rabbit anymore, find it a new home, or at the very least drop it off at your local animal shelter.

If your rabbit is ill, bring it to the vet, even if euthanasia is all that can be done.
