Scarecrows work for rabbits, but only if it is not left in one place for a long period of time.
Another option is get a couple of teenage boys with .22's.

Neighborhood cats make short work of rabbits. Several of our neighbors allow their cats to roam at night, which has minimized the rabbit, chipmunk, mouse population...
My only complaint was that if they need to charge me $30 because they're robbing the duck to pay the boar they might as well give me a more substantial portion of flour, water, and bits of meat.

Spray the entire garden with a mixture of malathion and sodium cyanide. Teach the bastards a lesson they won't soon forget.
Cambridge University Professor of Electrical Engineering, Sir Charles Oatley, in October, 1948, along with his student Dennis McMullan, began the research that led to the production of the first scanning electron microscope in 1965.

How about my tried and true method of keeping squirrels away: cayenne pepper. And along the lines of Miss J's cougar urine, I've used dried fox urine. God love the internet, where you can buy anything!
It is better to have beans and bacon in peace than cakes and ale in fear.

Abby, I had no idea you could buy dried foxes' urine online. I MUST tell my dad immediately.
This would also explain why I'm not seeing any rabbits in my South London garden. The whole of this side of the Thames is crawling with urban foxes. My poor little cat doesn't know what to make of them.

Thieves, arsonists and deserters.
