hi everybody its Luo Manfredini aces
home expert today we're gonna talk about
rabbits I love rabbits I'm a Bugs Bunny
guy I grew up watching Bugs Bunny
cartoons and so I have nothing against
rabbits but what I do remember about
Bugs Bunny is he lived underground and
chances are you can come out in your
backyard and wonder what's that hole
that I have in my backyard and what's
inside their living well it can be a
myriad of different rodents that are out
there but there's a good chance that you
may have rabbits now if you look closely
right here in this hole you can see
little evidence right here this is fur
this is a little fur from a rabbit right
there you see that and there's a good
chance that a rabbit is living inside
there now rabbits are cute I got no
problem with it but they can do damage
to your lawn certainly they can put
holes in there because they're living
underground if you have flowers they
love miracles they're like ice cream
cones to them they eat them like crazy
and a lot of different other plants and
they can spend a lot of time if you're a
gardener with fruits and vegetables
damaging your garden as well so trying
to eliminate the issue of rabbits in
your yard can be a important one to make
sure that everything looks great they're
not going to harm you of course they're
just interested in the vegetation so a
couple of options you locate a hole like
this as I mentioned sometimes you can
see that fur you know rabbits are
vegetarians they're not eating any
insects or anything in the law and
although they may but you want to make
sure that the pH level of your lawn is
good you got a nice healthy green lawn
this lawn looks pretty well this is a
product called shake away a shake away
are these granules and you can see
there's a picture of a rabbit on there
right there and it has the odor of fox
urine
guess what rabbits don't like they don't
like foxes and so you can't smell this
but when you first take that F oh man
does that smell bad and what you want to
do by this hole is go ahead and sprinkle
a little bit of this granule around it
even inside there you can go in there as
well then once you do that I want you to
take some newspaper if you still get the
newspaper or some tissue paper or
whatever and just loosely put it inside
the hole now you've kind of covered that
up there
what I want you to do is come and
inspect that a couple times a day to see
if that moves
if after about three or four days that
doesn't move anymore you know that those
rabbits have figured out that they can't
live there or actually let me back up a
little bit if it comes out again
sprinkle this in put it back in there
again and then after a couple days if it
doesn't move you know that they've moved
on now you can go ahead and fill that
hole back in maybe with a little gravel
and then topsoil and then recede it and
hopefully those rabbits are like hey man
there's a fox living in that backyard we
got to find a different place to live
and that way your yard is rabbit free if
you've got questions or you'd like to
make comment just put it at the bottom
