Why keep rabbits off your property?
- Garden destruction: Wild rabbits can cause significant damage to your garden & surrounding landscaping. They have a tendency to nibble on & uproot plants, flowers, and vegetables.
- Disease transmission: Wild rabbits can carry diseases which may be transmitted to pets or other wildlife, such as tularemia or parasites.
- Property damage: wild rabbits often create burrows underground, causing damage to lawns, flower beds, and landscaping. This behavior can result in mounds or holes, which are unsightly and may be dangerous for people or pets to walk on.
