Rabbits may look harmless, but too many rabbits around your Delta, BC property can cause significant damage to gardens, lawns, shrubs and young trees.
For homeowners in Delta, Ladner, Tsawwassen and North Delta, rabbits can become a persistent nuisance when they find easy food and shelter around your property.
Problems Caused by Rabbits
Rabbits eat a wide variety of flowers, vegetables and landscaping plants. They can also chew the bark and twigs of young trees and shrubs, sometimes causing serious damage.
Common signs of rabbit activity include:
- Damaged or missing garden plants
- Chewed tree bark and shrubs
- Rabbit droppings around lawns and gardens
- Rabbits regularly returning to the property
- Sheltered areas being used for nesting or hiding
Large rabbit populations can make maintaining gardens and landscaping frustrating and expensive.
How to Prevent Rabbits
The best way to reduce rabbit problems is to make your property less attractive and prevent access.
Rabbit prevention tips include:
- Install small-mesh fencing around gardens.
- Protect young trees with tree guards.
- Remove brush, weeds and garden debris that provide shelter.
- Avoid feeding rabbits or other wildlife.
- Deal with rabbit activity before the problem becomes established.
British Columbia guidance recommends fencing and protecting vulnerable plants as effective ways to reduce rabbit damage.
