It’s not uncommon for rabbits to wander onto your property in search of food, water, and shelter. Having rabbits can cause damage to your property or even health issues. In this video, we’ll go over how to identify rabbits, how to trap them using professional live traps, and ways to prevent them from coming back.

Rabbits are known for their floppy ears and bushy tails. They can grow to be between 14 and 19 inches long, and generally weigh between 2-4 pounds. If you suspect you may be dealing with rabbits, look for common signs that indicate rabbit activity.

Rabbits will come around looking for food, around the hours of dusk and dawn, and will eat most types of vegetation. They’ll eat fruits, vegetables, shrubbery, flowers, and even ornamental plants. Check all vegetation on the property for any signs of chewing or eating.

Rabbits will also tend to nest nearby any food or water sources, so be on the lookout for any bowl-shaped nests of fur, leaves, and grass.

After identifying your pest animal, select the best bait to increase your chances of a successful capture. Rabbits will prefer crunchier fruits and vegetables like apples, carrots, or lettuce.

Before trapping, make sure you put on your personal protective equipment, or PPE. Especially gloves, not only to protect yourself when setting the trap or releasing an animal, but it will also prevent you from transferring your scent to the trap or bait, which will dissuade rabbits from approaching.

In order to maximize our chances of catching the rabbit, we need to remove food sources that may compete with our bait. This includes picking up pet food after dark, fencing away fruit and vegetable gardens, and sweeping up fallen fruits, berries, and seeds.

Place your live trap far away from human or pet activity, along the edge of your property. Physical boundaries like fence lines, dense foliage, and garden edging make great placement guides, so set your trap along such structures.

Once you are satisfied with your trap placement, you can bait and arm it. Check your trap twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. Constantly being near the trap and checking it often will potentially dissuade rabbits from approaching the trap. Do not keep an animal trapped for more than 24 hours.

After you’ve successfully used your live trap, there are a few preventative measures you can take to make sure you do not have another animal problem. Maintaining a clean area indoors and outdoors is an important step to take. Prevent rabbits from entering your property by sealing any openings you may have found along the perimeter or foundation.
