I am plagued by hordes of rabbits. They eat everything in sight,

desperate they will even eat my Red Apple iceplant.

Within the city limits I cannot use a firearm. Would an air rifle be
powerful enough to kill them? Wonder where they go to die. Will I end
up with Rabbit carcasses all over my garden?

Trapping them sounds like a lot of trouble, especially with the high
cost of gasoline.

Any other drastic remedies?

And no, I do not want to cook them. During the depression my wife and
I collected road-kill rabbits and cooked them for supper. During the
war (WW II Germany) we bred them by the hundreds in our backyard and
turned them into sausage. Fortunately we no longer have a need for
such desperate measures.

Might as well build a hot-house. Rabbits can breed faster than you can kill
them.
