Re: rabbits

Hello all;

I used to use rotenone as either a spray or dust on my outdoor plants when
rabbits or squirrels became a problem.  The material is very low toxicity
to mammals and tastes terrible...almost mettallic.  Don't ask me how I
found this out but it was accidental (blush).

You also might try powdered alum...I think it's used to make some type of
pickle.  It'll pucker your lips and I'm sure it does the same for the four
legged vermin .
