Natural Rabbit Repellent
Lady bugs, spiders, moths and beetles all produce a pheromone that frightens rabbits away.
Pheromones are chemicals released by one organism to another. These chemicals can have an impact on the behavior of the receiving species, such as helping them find a mate or to avoid something that might be harmful. Pheromones are often used in insect traps and insecticides because they attract insects to the trap where they can then be caught or killed.
The pheromone released by rabbits when alarmed is known as cunicidin. This chemical causes other rabbits to flee from the area where it was detected, which is why using this type of repellent is a good way to keep rabbits away from your garden without harming them or contaminating your food supply with pesticides
The scent is released by the male ladybug as he prepares to mate.
Pheromones are chemical compounds that cause a specific behavior in other animals. For example, the female rabbit releases pheromones to signal her readiness for mating. The female ladybug releases pheromones when she is ready to mate so that male ladybugs will respond by releasing more of their own pheromones.
As you can see, there are many different types of mammals and insects who use pheromones as part of their reproductive cycle. These chemicals can be useful for humans as well—they can even be used to repel rabbits from your garden!
Some plants release their own pheromones when disturbed.
In a study conducted by the University of California, dandelions, hollyhocks and roses were found to release their own pheromones when disturbed. This can be used to your advantage in deterring rabbits from your flower garden. If you want to grow these plants in your garden, but keep rabbits away from them, then place them in pots or cages so they cannot be reached by the rabbits. If you want nothing else besides keeping out rabbits in the garden then plant these three types of plants together – dandelion being one of them – around areas where you don’t want any damage done by these creatures around your home or business premises.”
Some plants have evolved to release their own pheromones only when they are stung by an insect.
Some plants have evolved to release their own pheromones only when they are stung by an insect. For example, the cottony cushion scale, a pest of citrus trees, is attracted to certain species of eucalyptus trees. The eucalyptus releases a pheromone that attracts predators of the cottony cushion scale.
In some cases, plants can even release pheromones as a warning to other plants that there is danger nearby. These warnings are meant for other parts of its own species—or even other species in the same genus—and warn them not to allow themselves to be infected with the same parasite or pathogen. While this kind of communication between organisms is rare in animals (the way we communicate using language), it’s common among plants!

- Pine needles: Mix equal parts water and vinegar together (approximately one gallon of each). Spray the mixture on your plants. The smell is strong enough that the rabbit will not want to come near it. You can also sprinkle pine needles around the area you want protected by rabbits.
- Marigold: Plant these flowers around the perimeter of your garden to help keep rabbits away from your vegetables. They are also beautiful and easy-to-grow flowers!
- Dill: Plant this herb nearby where you want protection from rabbits as well as other pests such as deer or mice because they don’t like its smell either!
