wandering if anyone has tried the flashing lights to keep predators away ?
im gonna try them around the area I got my redbacks at.
if anyone uses them, do they work on yotes, etc... or will the varmints only get used to them after awhile.
im thinking this 2 pack for 20.00

Best thing for predators is marshmellows, apple cider and cat food in leg hold metal traps, cost about $9.00 each, inside and outside the pen. Game warden allows that around our chicken pens for coons and possums. Put a few, 2 or 3 chickens and a rooster in the rabbit pen as bait in case of hawks. They will take chickens instead of your rabbits. Side benefit will be eggs.
Outside the pen antifreeze in a shallow pan for coyotes and anything else that will not put its foot in a trap.

At least that is what someone that knew a man who knew a man that had a big rabbit pen to run beagles in told him and he passed it on to me just for information.

I have also heard from a guy who knew a guy who knew a guy who knew a guy that used fly powder and a little cola to get rid of unwanted predators.

Waste of money. I trapped coon rite beside mine. I trap coon and possum around my rabbit pens. I love the coon cuff type traps because nothing else can get into them. Bait with peanut butter. As for hawks and owls. The lights are useless.

Trapping anything is simple. Just provide an alternate something the varmint whether walking or flying will like better than your rabbits, chickens, or whatever. Draw them in. Works with people just as well.

If the flashing red lights worked, hunters wouldn't use red lights when night hunting for coyotes. Waste of Money in my opinion!!
