So yesterday afternoon my potted plants were attacked by what i can only assume was the furry little shit living in my backyard ( I love the little brown fucker ) But he totally munched one of my plants down to the nubs and he started on my fucking mini rose bush before i noticed what was up, moved them inside for the night but hes attacking them in the day too!

I planted some Lettuce greens for him to eat but there not sprung up yet and whats even worse hes comming onto my deck which requires a few hops up the damn steps JUST to get to the plants! MFER...

So im considering getting some marigolds for the deck but im wondering if anyones tried that first to keep rabbits away from there shit? Im told they don't like them and will avoid them at all costs...

I cant really put them on a railing as the wind will knock them all off :(

If the rabbits not lucky tho one of these days im going to inadvertently let my 2 dogs outside 1 of which can and will take a bite outta his ass (Almost did last year) Id prefer that not to happen, so anything i can use to just keep him off/away from the deck and give him a head start running for the fence line if possible.

But mainly want his ass to stop eating my fricking plants in pots.. Theres MASSIVE vegitation all around he could be eating but no ... sum bitch goes right for the potted plants.

For what its worth I live in michigan ( If anyone in michigan happens to know a great way to deal with them ) and no im not a hunter so that ideas off the table, tho if my dog does catch his ass, well.. Stew meat for the killer :D

they will just go right around the marigolds ime.let the dogs have their fun lmao.like shroomking posted,your gunna need a fence setup or keep em on a table high enough the fucker cant get em.i shot 2 in feb in my yard and they were yummy :) you could always live trap em and move em a mile or so,as long as you dont drop em off in the desert they will just make a new home and start eating someone else's veggies lol.

I have the same problem with Squirrels,Birds, Deer,etc in my garden. It's a pain but work pretty damn good, I just make a pepper spray out of crushed red peppers. I don't measure just boil let cool strain and spray all my veggies. doesn't seem to harm anything but washes off every time it rains.

Good luck.

I see the hose on teh ground to act like a snake trick don't work for shit.. lol

As of right now im stuck putting them on the railing and mashing the pots close together in hopes they don't get blown off.. Gonna have to look into chicken wire or something i guess.. Pain in the ass. :\

Not sure if predator pee with keep them away or not. They sell it in a bottle just for reason like this. I know it works for deer.

I was having problems with deer, and I thought my own pee would drive them away. I took a piss on a flower bed that was getting eaten, then next day there was fresh deer poop on top of where I peed, lol.

Place the pots on top of 5 gallon buckets , just flip the buckets upside down and place your pots on the bucket, it should be high enough to keep the bunny off your produce.

I use a battery operated motion detector sprinkler,it scares the little shits right off when it comes on with both noise and water.I have so many they wear my dog out.I also i have no qualms about blasting them either,ive hunted all my life but i dont like rabbit so i try not to shoot anything i wont eat.
