My housing area is overrun by cottontail rabbits since there are essentially no predators to control their numbers. My darling wife tries to grow small quantities of veggies that the rabbits find simply delicious. So, I'm looking for a legal means of thwarting them. We are within the city limits and have a pool in the back yard and neighbors on both sides, so a suppressed .22 is a No-Go. If I put a hole in the pool or it's plumbing, I would be living outdoors, eating the wife's veggies to stay alive!
Suggestions?
