Hi there folks, while at the cemetry in Southend, Essex,Uk , I got talking to a lady about plants that rabbits wouldn't eat, as the cemetry is overrun with rabbits, and most flowers that the loving families place on the graves, are demolished the very same night, so I put a small spikey succulent type plant on my fathers grave to deter the little furry critters. I noticed the grave the lady was tending was in full bloom, several flowering plants, so I asked her how she stopped the rabbits from eating them, ' Dog hair' she said, she combs hair from her sisters greyhounds and places it around the area of the grave and plants, she reckons the rabbits smell the dog hair and believe it could still be close so they go and eat someone else's plants. Maybe this theory can be transferred to other predators, i.e essence of golden eagle to keep vermin away, essense of foxhound etc etc. ?????????
 
I have heard sprinkling human urine around a yard will make a predator think twice.

That said, however, nothing beats a strong coop, a secure run, and an electric fence.

x 100 GROSS! what if you live in Africa and you attract lions... you would have a bigger problem!

I think the methods of sprinkling dog hair and the like makes a lot of sense...Maybe you could start a business selling predator repellent...
