Natural Ways To Keep Rabbits Out of Flower Beds

While rabbits are adorable and cute they can also destroy your flower beds. If you have ever had a rabbit get into your flower bed you know that in just one night they can eat a lot of flowers! So follow these steps for some natural humane ways to keep rabbits out of your flower beds.

Things You'll Need

• Pepper
• Hair
• Garlic Powder

Instructions

1. Ground black pepper can serve as a deterrent for rabbits. Simply sprinkle ground pepper around the borders of your flower bed. The smell of the pepper will send those rabbits hopping in the other direction. You will need to reapply the pepper one to two times a week.

2. Hair will also keep rabbits from snacking in your flower beds. If you put cut human or dog hair around the boarders of your flower bed rabbits will not approach it.

3. Garlic powder is another item that rabbits will turn up their nose at. Sprinkle garlic powder around the edges of your flower garden. Again like the black pepper you will have to reapply one to two times a week.
