Q. We live in Sun city Summerlin the rabbits are eating
our plants Star jasmine, silver spoon yuccas, and even canary island date
palms lower leaves. We have tried Shake-Away Fox and Coyote Urine Granules and
scaring them but nothing has worked. Any suggestions or tips would be helpful.
A. These kinds of products are deterrents. Once they are
hungry those will not stop them and they will eat even less desirable plants.
The only real way to get a handle on them is exclusion (fencing)
which can look
horrible. Planting less desirable plants (Arizona fact sheet found on the link
below) will help push them to more desirable plants they can find in the
neighbors yards.
