Rabbit and possum repellent

Grazers Rabbit and possum repellent is an effective solution to this problem. Because it is nutrient - based, it can be sprayed safely on any growing plant - ornamental, fruit or vegetable, and in fact will help repair any damage already caused by rabbits. It is odourless to the human nose, and safe for pets. Grazers is systemic (taken in by the growing plant), so it is not washed off by rain.

Because it is harmless to pets and wildlife, it can be sprayed safely on grass or any plant. There is no withholding period though fruit and vegetables might taste a bit odd if you eat them within a few days of spraying them.

Grazing rabbits and other animals remember which plants are tasty and which are not. Even when Grazers has worn off, crop damage has not re-occurred for some time. If there is nothing else for rabbits to eat, they will possibly eat a sprayed crop, but as long as there is something else to eat, crop and pest can live side by side!

New Zealand customer possum trial:

Hi Graham,
I can confirm that it works for possums as well as rabbits. The 1 application on half mature lettuce didn't work as well, but the double application to seedlings pre plant is working very well. I will definitely be back for more in the future.
Cheers, Peter

Feedback from another customer with a rabbit problem:

Just a quick report back on the use of the Grazers Rabbit Repellent as promised. I think it has been gratifyingly successful! We used it on 65 Laurel hedge plants most of which had had all their newly appearing foliage decimated by a couple of wayward rabbits. The plants have done extremely well since. Five or six were so badly chewed that we had to replace them but these were sprayed with the Grazers, prior to planting, and have not been touched since. Many thanks indeed for helping us in this respect. We are very appreciative.

Note:
When new plants are to be introduced to the garden or paddock, it is recommended to spray the them with Grazers, at least twice in a pest free location prior to planting. Allow for 3 days between applications. This enables the plants to absorb the repellent and to make sure that young tender shoots, which are very attractive to grazing pests, are protected. Another common problem is that rabbits get attracted by the smell of new soil and dig your newly planted plants out. Grazers stops rabbits from eating the plants, not from digging them up. We suggest some blood and bone around each newly planted plant. It does not last long, but the smell puts the the rabbits off for the first couple of days until the novelty the of the new soil is lost. If rabbits have been eating your plants for a while it will take a bit to break the habit. Use Grazers at double strength.

A spraying of Grazers should last about 6 weeks,but it depends on a few factors. If the plant is growing rapidly, then the product is being diluted by the plant. If the plant doubles in size, then the strength of the product within the sap is now halved. If you are under severe rabbit pressure you may have to spray more often. It is important rabbits have an alternative food source so they leave your plants alone, something like your neighbour's unsprayed plants.LOL
