Good fence. Electric fence. .22, learn to cook them. Rottweiler is effective.

I shoot them from my porch naked while holding a beer. (Seriously).

My dog (a pit mix) then finds their den and kills the young.

We don't have much of a problem anymore.

The fence would only need to be a couple feet, but it should also be buried maybe 6 inches or more.

PS, If you have a dog and or cat, collect the hair and scatter it around( or people hair)

I have lots of bunnies in my neighborhood and do not want them in my backyard damaging my trees/plants/garden. I have 320' of 6' pressure treated privacy fence around my back yard. To keep the bunnies out I have over 600 used bricks on the ground against the inside bottom of the fence so there are no open gaps under the fence. It has worked well for 15 years now. Only twice have I had a bunny in the yard and they were very young little ones that somehow found a spot to squeeze in. I know it sounds funny but I keep a fishing net in the shed that I used to catch them and then released them on the other side of the fence.
