They seem to be attracted to any place that humans have done work then they dig there - for what reason no one knows.gardenvariety-hoosierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02823437033502199023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-559739026436343696.post-62898513126941669262011-04-20T07:40:22.677-04:002011-04-20T07:40:22.677-04:00Katrina: The bunnies haven't been a problem fo...Katrina: The bunnies haven't been a problem for me, but my dogs spend a lot of time in my back yard. I can't believe that they had the nerve to munch on your scarlet runner beans! It makes Mr. McGregor of Peter Rabbit fame look like a more sympathetic characters, huh?<br /><br />Matron: The guys who live down the street had the same problem, so they found an organic cat repellant and sprinkled throughout their garden. It took care of the cats but created a different problem: foxes. We live in a residential city neighborhood, so we were all surprised when the foxes started to visit their garden in the late evening. We didn't even know that we had fox in our neighborhood. Apparently one of the main ingredients in the repellant was fox urine.KatieLovesDogshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13814089116598651381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-559739026436343696.post-42373194870911835212011-04-20T04:14:53.527-04:002011-04-20T04:14:53.527-04:00Yes! squirrels just dig up anything I have planted...Yes! squirrels just dig up anything I have planted! grrr. I also have really bad problems with domestic cats digging up my seed bed. I can NEVER sow seeds direct into the ground because cats just dig up the newly dug soil to do their business !!! grrrMatronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07705506930308472527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-559739026436343696.post-79494347916644702472011-04-18T18:39:31.042-04:002011-04-18T18:39:31.042-04:00I feel the same way about wild rabbits.

I started spraying a hot sause/water concoction around the perimeter of my garden and directly on some plants I knew they were munching on. That slowed them down considerably.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
