How can I deter rabbits from coming into my yard?

The only time they seem to stay away is when I watch my sister's dog periodically. Not ready to get a dog of my own just to keep the rabbits away. Any suggestions?

    you can try brushing your hair and put it around where you don't want the

    rabbits. Also - dog hair will do the same.

    That I can try. My neighbor has a big hairy dog that sheds a lot. Maybe I can ask her to throw some over the fence next time she brushes her dog. Thanks for the idea.

    I have the same problem! I read somewhere that shredded Irish Spring bar soap works. I'm going to try it this year. The hair thing didn't work for me.

      I'm afraid if I tried this my yard would look like a big bubble bath. But even that would be better than all the rabbits taking over. ☺️

    I feel the same way.

    The hair will work, you just need a lot. Find your local dog groomer and inquire if you can have the clipped hair. Spread it around. It decomposes so no worry about the clean up. You can also try using gallon jugs with water and moth balls.. Just cut v shapes around the top of jug so more of the smell can get out. Refill as needed.

    Great ideas, both of them. I'll try the gallon jug trick first. If that fails, on to the dog groomers.
