    Tractor supply has a repellent spray that is suppose to be good for deer and rabbits.

    I replaced the screening in my back door with fiberglass screening. Step back into the hallway,sight carefully and POOF with the air rifle.

    Only one neighbor in over 40 years knew this was happening. That lady did know how to make a great hasenpfeffer.

    My daughter BBQd the tree rats.

    And I live in a big city area.

    One of these days I will have to replace the fiberglass but it almost seems to be self healing.

    Sounds like you choices are to gas them or drown them when you catch them.
    They are eating the insulation off the fuel injector wiring to our Chargers here.
    The little turds crawl up on top of the manifolds of our parked cars and nibble the soy-based insulation, frequently chewing the exposed wires in two.

    Took one to our mechanics the other day that had 6 of 8 injector wires chewed or severed.
    The mechanic popped the hood on one of our cars a couple weeks ago and a set of beady eyes was looking back at him.

    Bet his feet got hot on the ride over.

    I guess we'll have to stick some spare wire in the live-traps. Do you think a wad like spaghetti would be the most attractive?

    We had a bunch of ground squirrels and wanted to live trap them (illegal to do anything else)...we contacted the feral cat society and asked if they had traps for rent...didn't mention it was not for cats..they loaned us a few and we had the squirrels moved in about a week..just a tip if you got a feral cat rescue near you....don't catch a crow...we did..man was that a handful...they love peanut butter and can really bite.

    I'm a little surprised no one mentioned a deadfall. One or two heavy steel plates from the scrapyard, a fast graphic, spraycan paint job and you've got yard art with an action element.

    You can use conibears or body traps to take them out and be done with it , but heck your laws in your area and also it will take cats and small dogs also .it depends on the size your use.the smallest for rabbit I would use a 160. You will take the tree rats out also with it.Beside cats.Use at your own risk.You can reuse them time after time also.
