Get Rid of Rabbits
We’ve moved on from birds and feathered creatures to rodents and small mammals, starting with rabbits. Strategies for keeping rabbits out of a yard are still a hotly debated topic, as I noticed while doing research on the subject. It seems to me that people want to get rid of rabbits quickly and efficiently, but they refuse to do anything that might be considered “inhumane.” Now, I’m not one of those lunatics who’s going to try to convince you that trapping is humane because it spares the rabbit of having to live a miserable existence. That line of reasoning might work with those miserable looking goth kids, but rabbits are not inherently miserable creatures–even if they’re hungry.
I suggest using live traps for most isolated rabbit problems. But if you’re having recurrent issues with rabbits then you might want to consider contacting a conservation officer or your local law enforcement center to find out what the deal is with guns in your neighborhood and if there are any laws protecting them there varmints.

If you put moth balls around your yard, you are guaranteed to keep the rabbits out, UNFORTUNATELY, moth balls also can look like candy to a child and one moth ball swallowed CAN KILL A CHILD, so use this with extreme caution. Make sure there is NO WAY any child or other hungry human will get at the strong smelling chemical. Dogs do not work, they only succeed in getting rid of the mother rabiit after she has had her litter–how the term Dumb Bunny came about.
