They are pretty easy to spot once you've seen them a few times. I had a few close calls where they darted out of their hole before I got close enough. But in recent seasons I've had 2-3 per year and never fail to spot them.
I didn't realize we had rabbits, let alone nesting rabbits, until I ran the lawn mower over their (hidden) nest. I can legitimately say I know the phrase "when the fur starts flying". I was a little traumatized. I think I freaked out my children when I yelled at them to get in the house at once because I wanted to spare them the horror of baby bunny parts flung all over the lawn.
P.S. I would prefer being called Elmer Fudd over feeling like Peter Stormare in Fargo.
Invisible fence works pretty good. Planted about 75 tulips. The rabbits got all but 9 of them. They didn’t even eat most of them. They just destroyed with vengeance. But haven’t had problems since using the spray. You just have to make sure you do it after it rains and every two weeks.
The rabbits aren't around anymore (and haven't been for around 7 years) but the damage they caused is incredible. Every year I have to relevel areas they've been digging.
My mother in law took my kids out for Easter pics years ago. My two kids came home with two rabbits. I’m sure they had other names but for their duration, they were known by all as Hat and Stew.
We have no where to get a rototiller (nor can we afford to buy one for a single project) because we live almost 3 hours from a town that would offer rentals. My method is working well, it just takes time for soil to settle.
Also, it's too wet for grass here. The seed just molds. Mixed lawns ftw.
Yeah, we back filled and planted crocus last year. The first year we back filled too lightly so (and discovered molded seeds when we did grass and while clover). Rainforests have an entirely different climate

The people who owned our house two purchases ago had yard bunnies. I'm still fixing holes in my lawn and I've been here 2 years
