LESLIE: Robin in Massachusetts has a rabbit problem [1] at her house and they multiply in great numbers, we know. (Tom chuckles) Welcome, Robin.

ROBIN: Oh, hello. I’m calling because the rabbits are eating all the flowers from the marigolds.

TOM: That’s terrible.

ROBIN: Yes.

TOM: Well, rabbits need to eat, too.

ROBIN: And the squirrels are eating all the strawberries. (Leslie chuckles)

TOM: OK. (chuckles)

ROBIN: So we need to know what to do.

LESLIE: Stop planting such tasty things around your house.

ROBIN: That would be a good idea. (Leslie and Robin chuckle)

TOM: You know, there’s a good product out from the folks at Havahart. It’s the Woodstream Corporation and it’s called Defence [2] and it’s a rabbit repellent. It actually repels rabbits and deer. You can buy it for around $12 or $13 a bottle and basically it’s as easy to use as it gets. You spray it on the plants. It works on flowers, it works on ornamentals, it works on any kinds of landscape areas and one application lasts up to three months and it will make those beautiful flowers very not tasty to the rabbits.

ROBIN: OK.

LESLIE: Mm-hmm, and the best part is the USDA certifies it as being approved for organic gardening. So you don’t have to be concerned about it, you know, damaging your strawberries.

ROBIN: Oh, good. And where can I find this?

TOM: Well, you can find it in different home centers and garden stores or you can find it online. It’s one of the Havahart products, so I would maybe start with their website which is Havahart.com [3].

ROBIN: OK, thank you.

TOM: You’re welcome. Thanks so much for calling us at 888-MONEY-PIT.
