Every spring they are out "pruning" my flowers before they have a chance to blom.

Reply:An old remedy is to scatter some mothballs around your plants.There are also products in garden center to deter pests.
Reply:Jalapenos should be hot enough to keep the bunnies away. The quickest way to come up with a concoction is to take three fresh peppers and run them through a food processor with enough water added to create a liquid. Pour the liquid through a cheesecloth mesh into a glass quart jar. Add about 2 tablespoons of olive or other vegetable oil, a squirt of Elmer’s glue and a drop or two of liquid dishwashing detergent. Use one part of the concentration to 10 parts water. Shake well just before application. This should discourage the bunnies without hurting them. If not, then make the concentration stronger, to 30 percent, or just go up to the cayenne pepper for extra heat. Be sure to reapply after new growth appears or after a good rain.



Shake-Away Fox Urine Powder works too, as well as Deer Scram Deer Repellant. Good luck!
Reply:There is this product called shake away. The have it at ACE hardware I know for sure. It's fairly new, so I'm not sure where else they have it. It is 100% safe and repells animals very well. I have had several good reviews. It is one of the few products that is safe even if it has runoff and doesnt harm the environment or ozone layer. Get the small critter variety, it should have a picture of a rabbit on it. They also have some that is good for just about any other pest you may have like cats, dogs, rodents, and many more! Good luck!
Reply:Try a motion sensor sprinkler -- it comes on when it detects any motion, and squirts the little critters! An example is at http://www.critterridders.com/scarecrow.... . I have a friend with a large country garden, and she has used it successfully.
Reply:I also had a bunny problem. I mix water, a tablespoon of liquid dish soap and a little "hot sauce" in a squirt bottle (shake it up) and spray my vegetables and flowers. Once their little mouths get a taste of it, they will never come back. You can also put dried hot peppers in place of hot sauce. (Anything with a hotness to it should work.)
Reply:You might want to try sprinkling ammonia around the perimeter of the garden, not too close to the flowers though. The strong smell alone should keep them away.
