Will this keep mice and rabbits from chewing the bark?

It may. I never felt it was designed for that. I use it to protect young trees from sun scald.

Rabbits, yes. Mice and squirrels, however, love to chew and remove it for building their Spring nests. Up to that point, it is truly a quality product.

Not always, it is better to use a plastic wrap as mice love making nesting from fragments of paper, and the bark of your trees. Using a 10 mil plastic over the wrap just at the base of the tree or vine keeps the wrap in place and keeps plant protected, but just at the base say up 4 to 8 inches.

I have found that mice really like to chew up the lower portions of the wrap to build their nests. They don't bother my young maple trees, but if you had fruit trees wrapped, I think you would have trouble with girdling.

I got one to deter deer which I am happy to say it seems to work. Another was placed to deter armadillos. I'm not real sure how it has affected them. They really did a number on flower beds before I got it set up. I'm not sure about rats and mice. If they are on the list for these give them a shot. Make sure that you set them up correctly. You may also have to set them up tilted down toward the ground and not on the ground. We also have neighborhood cats in our yard unaffected by this machine.

Not sure. We live in an old house. I have seen a small mouse slip in and out of the bars. Rats maybe big enough to not do that.

Interesting, super rodents? Try opening bag and sprinkling it at your door openings. I use it this way every two weeks and it keeps them away. I never left mine in the bag because I wanted it in a shaker but they only had bags. My friend uses peppermint in a spray bottle he made from essential oil, he sprays his door openings and swears by it.

Gosh, I don't know. But bats eat bugs, so if you can limit the bugs that might help - if that's even possible. It didn't do much to repel mice. Save your $$

I would think if it keeps cats away, (very well I might add), it would keep rabbits away. Not Positive but it is logical.You may have to turn up to max output which is a lot because my neighbors complained it woke them up, so I turned it down a bit.

i do not believe so. I hope, if you buy this, you have better luck than we did. There were some mice making a home in our yard. Bought this and I think they actually laughed, :( . Moved it right next to the bird feeder, where the mice would also gather. They walked right in front of it. The only animals it seemed to bother were our dogs.

I think the moles could chew it. It worked great tp protect my cypress trees from the deer. I left it on the trees from last year. From a distance you can't see it

I would think that they would protect from rabbits. I am using them to protect my trees from deer and they have worked very well. Good luck!

Yes, it will. We have a 28 inch high fence around the garden to keep out rabbits. The wire connected to the Havahart is about four inches off the ground and about 4 inches away from the outside of the fence. The groundhog used to have a path worn in the grass from the bushes by the garden to the fence but we have not have any problems with groundhogs since then (about four years now) though we see them in the neighbors' yards. The batteries last about two months or more if there are no weeds or grass touching the electrified wire.

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.

The only oil I've heard of to keep mice away is peppermint. Sorry, I can't help you.

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 would say it won't hold up. It's great to discourage the deer from chewing on the bark and protect from sun scald. I would use chicken wire for antlers.

No, this is to protect bark on young trees. I use it to keep a weed trimmer r from damaging tender bark if it gets too close. Also, to keep moles and other things near the ground from chewing the bark. I would use the metal cone like protectors especially made for poles that have bird feeders on them. They work great, also, last and last. Amazon sells them I'm sure.

If a rabbit wanted something on the other side of this stuff, they'd be through it in seconds. If your main concern is keeping rabbits at bay, you really need to go with something metal (chicken wire, etc.).

I've seen it used for ferrets before, and they survived. I know mice also have a sensitivity to those same woods, but I use it for all of mine and haven't had any problems. =)
