Rabbits seem to be eating the grass in my front yard. How do you apply this? Can you just sprinkle around various spots in the yard?

Hi Dan, my problem was squirrels gettings in my engine. I sprinkled this around my car and it kept them away. Give it a try. I hope it works!

You just sprinkle it. It helped slightly with the skunk. It didn't deter the rabbits. It also has to be re-applied every few days and after it rains.
49637
Yes, sprinkle it where you do not want rabbits to eat. That is how it is used.
49638
Yes. It's little grains of something (somewhere between poppy and sesame seed size) that exude a fox urine smell. Rain washes the scent away. My squirrels didn't notice it; I can't speak to rabbits. Then again, I did have some foxes stop by.

Yes, pretend you are the fox, marking your territory and you should be good. we just sprinkled a teaspoonful like every three feet! we used it for squirrels. We have a couple squirrels still living around here but there were 12 or more before so it is great. No harm, just diversion!

Try this: put the food container and hay feeder on the top of litter box at corners because bunny eats and poops concurrently. It works for me bunny with less accidents on the feeding platform now... but he pees in bedding area all the time, any suggestions?

I'm not sure what the rating was on the sf coverage, but it comes on 2 sponges. I actually split the package with my neighbor (they were afraid with 3 dogs I would only drive them out of my yard and into theirs) so between us, we did about 2 acres on the package, as both houses sit on about a 1 acre lot each. We didn't do areas where the dogs never go, so I'd guess a good 1 to 1-1/2 acres was covered. Did them last summer, so far this year, all 5 of our dogs are flea free at this point. They must have feasted all winter long. I also have seen only a few spiders, maybe 1 catepillar, maybe a dozen rolly-pollies, no grubworms at all. It looks as if they had a larvae feast all winter, and we are bug-poor this year - although I'm certainly not complaining about that! If you're "infested" already, you might want to use something strong to knock them back, give that 30 days to get out of the soil so it doesn't kill the nemotodes, and then put them out, and they seem to have really worked around here. I'm about to do my spring maintenance dose in the next week or two. They say about twice a year anyway, spring and late-summer, early fall, to keep them active in your yard. I assume if they eat all the food sources, they'll only move to the neighbors yard. They are actual insects that need to feed, but they do reproduce also. You just need to get and keep them established in your yard.

I didn't have any "critters" even try to climb up into it - I'm sure that tall animals like a deer would be able to nibble, but the small ones like chipmunks didn't even try. I did have one chipmunk who kept running across my deck though - the tomato plants backed up to my deck and he was eating any tomato he could find through the deck slats. I would think if you are concerned, you could put something like chicken-wire on the inside edges before you add your garden dirt.

Any listing I've found of this just says 'natural grass', so I can't say for sure what it is. Sorry. I do know that my rabbit loves to sit on this and will chew on it on occasion.

It worked against squirrels, raccoons, and deer. We don't have rabbits, I think because of the local foxes. So--I don't know.

I won't put it on my lawn because its intended use is for wood and other areas where it can soak into and keep them from biting into it. The taste is horrible and retained in the product. Animals will not bite there or near again. I spray it on the wooden raised bed garden OUTSIDE so it does not get onto my veggies. ALL animals are repelled so far. My house is solid brick except the upper level is cedar. I was told cedar repels animals. No so. I watched them run up a tree and across my attached garage and dig into the side of my bedroom wall. Sprayed, patched (including put in some rough steel wool) and they never returned. Screws hold better than nails. Ropel does have a punchy smell if sprayed onto attic insulation. It isn't permanent. I did spray the tree a bit. Critter Ridder (spelling?) is best when placed in your rocks and area landscaping but not on anything living (some put on lawn edge). It is smelly. Supplement them with ammonia if you can stand it and set some humane traps if you can. Good luck. They are smart pesky critters.

I do not have a rabbit problem but it works with deer. It has a mint smell. If rabbits don't like mint they will be repelled.

I planted two in the ground rabbits ate one and the other took off nicely I live in wisconsin so I mulched it heavy for the winter and hope when i uncover I still have a plant. My mom placed one in a pot inside and its growing slowly but sure she wants to see if it will mature enough to plant this year if I have no luck with mine I used a manure soil mixed with potting soil that feeds like mircle grow. GOOD LUCK!

They eat this mat. It's just made of straw out hay. I have a rabbit house wooden. I doubt believe they need to protect their feet. Mine she's fine on the wire bottom part. He sleeps on the wood side . 5 yrs now and he's fine.

I had this issue though I found a very simple way to get rid of it. Fresh lavender! Just place some fresh cut sprigs inside and seal it up. If you don't have any then walk around your neighborhood until you find a yard that has some then ask the owner for a small amount.

I have never used this for rabbits but did have a rabbit that used a regular litter box. My suggestion would be to buy just a bag of the pellets and make sure the rabbit does not try to chew on them and uses the box normally. If so, this system would be ideal. Scooping their solids might be a bit challenging as their solids are very similar in size and shape to the pellets. I cannot say how much we are pleased with ours. The urine collection system is unlike any other and it truly works. Best of luck!

Works fantastic on rabbits. I primarily use it as as a deer repellent, but it is extremely effective against rabbits and rodents.

See Bob's answer below. Also, FWIW, I have a problem w/ raccoons coming to eat the seeds the birds drop on the ground, so I rigged a light-weight, plastic (plant) tray to hang underneath the feeder (from the Cardinal ring) to catch the seeds. Being able to adjust the sensitivity of the 'closing' option of the feeder allowed me to tighten the spring so that the weight of the tray wouldn't close the feeder's holes. Also, I thought I was going to have to clean the tray of all the dropped seeds, but other birds sit on the edge of the tray and eat the seeds for me. I punched numerous small drain holes in the tray so rain water would flow through. It's a great product. See Bob's answer below.

I would think so because it's an annoyance and rabbits graze, so they would eat somewhere else. You might have to try various frequencies to see which one works the best.

I must add my "I don't know" to the others. I have used my hose to keep the foundation wet, and water the garden without spraying the leaves. The only problem I found is that I live in the country and my rabbit population would chew into them at night because the water was turned off. I believe you'll be pleased with the product if you don't have rabbits to contend with.

Melissa, Yes you can! Depending on your yard size, spreading it can be tedious!! Check for rain in the forecast. Make sure that you have at least 3-5 days with no rain for the full effect of using this in your yard. If it does rain, you will need to reapply it because it is water soluble. I have a fairly large yard, I recommend starting at your exit door(s) and sprinkle the grass/mulch areas using a fairly large salt/pepper shaker that flows freely!! Sprinkle it 4-5 inches from the top of the grass. Then go through the middle of your yard. This chases all of the insects including fleas to the edges of your yard. Then just pick a side and sprinkle it. You do not need to "cover" it entirely. Then move on to the other side of your yard. You do not have to rake the yard after application, but I recommend it because it gets the diatomaceous earth to the dirt level where most bugs hide under the grass!! Also, you can mix it with Yarrow Powder too! This helps stop the life cycle of those pesky little critters!! It is more expensive, so I use it sparingly in the areas of the yard, like bushes and doorways, where my dog and cats like to hang out. Hope this helps!!
