How do I get rid of my neighbors domesticated rabbit?
There's a domestic rabbit that eats my plants. I have tried SO many things - hot sauce and pepper flakes, Irish spring, garlic water, chemicals, Epsom salts. He has already eaten the better part of 3 liropes. Any further suggestions outside of getting a chicken wire fence ( which would post a mowing problem)

We can't use a motion sensor water scarecrow because it would get the delivery people all wet too.
You could try a trap, baited with carrots or apples. Not sure it would work since there's plenty of other food.

Get a dog or dog sit for a few days. Even if the dog isn't fast enough to catch the bunny, the smell of the dog in the yard should keep it away.
I've also read that if you sprinkle dog hair around the flowers that it should keep it away as well, since dogs are predators. Just ask a local groomer for some dog hair.
I'd try trapping it, then drop it at a shelter. Your neighbor may better get the message if they pay the fees to have the rabbit returned.
use a pellet gun
probably won't kill it but it will definitely stay away
also works for squirrels
Home Depot sells a spray called Critter Ridder whose main ingredient is coyote urine. Our city zoo provides gardeners with predator droppings from lions, tigers and wolves; I work it into soil like any manure, and I don’t have to worry about it washing away like a spray.
If you have a good relationship with your neighbors I would film him/her eating my plants and then show them. Tell them you are concerned that it may eat something that is poisonous. Or you could do the same thing and send them a bill.
I am assuming you have already tried talking to the neighbor. If there has been no attempt to pen the animal, and you have obviously tried everything else, then trap it or shoot it and be done with it. If you prefer not to shoot it, then call animal control and have them 'talk' to the neighbor.
Animal control LIKES to be called because then they have a file. Babysit a dog. Trap it in a have a heart cage. This assumes that you have already talked to your neighbor first.
