Sounds gross, but Coyote urine. They sell it in granule form, on Amazon, or you can find it at a feed store. Keeps cats, bunny's and any creature terrified of being eaten, from entering the area, as it smells like the predator. I don't recommend putting it near an open window, but pouring a bit around your fence line, should keep them away.
Good luck :)
That's very effective for some small animals. I don't have a rabbit problem, but I do have a woodchuck problem and a squirrel problem. Coyote urine solved the woodchuck problem, and a .22 caliber squirrel repellent solves the squirrel problem. I've killed about 25 of the little bastards so far this summer, with no end in sight. The woodchucks? One treatment with the coyote urine each spring, and I don't see them again until the following year. If it works half as well with bunnies, it's more than worth the ten bucks or whatever.
Another thing that works with some animals - especially deer - is to hang some old CDs from fishing line. They spin slowly in the wind and flash sunlight at odd angles. Deer hate it, and I would imagine rabbits wouldn't be overly fond of it, either. They tend to be rather nervous. And if anyone's wondering how to keep pileated woodpeckers from tearing out enormous slabs of siding, I find that throwing a couple of firecrackers out the window as soon as they start jackhammering the side of the house causes them to immediately and permanently reconsider their choice of houses.
Now, if only someone could share with me some methods of getting rid of turkeys. Goddamned idiot birds from hell... I hate the stupid bastards with a passion. It seems as though the entire point of 50 million years of turkey evolution is just to shit on my patio. God damn them.
