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

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?


WTF don't you have a fence?


WTF do you think a fence will stop a burrowing animal for more than, oh, maybe
a minute and a half?


If the fence isn't installed by a blithering idiot, it'll be sunk far
enough to keep out a rabbit.
