Article: A humane and effective way of keeping rabbits out of your yard or garden is by setting up fences around the problem areas. Dig 10 to 12 feet (3.0 to 3.7 m) underground where you want to install a wire fence. Lay chicken wire in the hole and create a fence that is tall enough to keep the rabbits from jumping over it.  Hire a professional to install the fence for you if you do not have the resources or experience to install a fence on your own. Chicken wire will keep the rabbits from digging or burrowing under the fence. This option is expensive and temporary, but it can be effective if you are consistent. Buy a rabbit repellent from your local sporting good store and spray it on your plants or in your yard. The repellent will have to be reapplied, as the smell will fade and the rabbits will return after some time. The most effective repellents smell like fox-urine, or like the urine of other predators. These fungicides are extremely toxic and should not be applied to plants you plan to eat or any areas where children may be playing. Fungicides are extremely effective in deterring rabbits, and are a good option for areas with ornamental plants or parts of your garden that will not be eaten by humans.
