Those rolling Virginia hills are home to more than just scenery. With rabbit control in Central Virginia, ohDEER provides all-natural repellent solutions to help reduce damage and deter rabbits from grazing on your landscaping.
Throughout Central Virginia, rabbits are a primary threat to foundation plantings and flowering shrubs. They frequently nest near local farmlands or under suburban decks, staying steps away from your Hostas and Azaleas. These pests are incredibly stubborn about targeting tender new growth and will strip the bark from young trees throughout the Virginia winter.
Devastation can happen in the Virginia foothills overnight when rabbits are left unchecked. Their sharp teeth clip plants clean at the ground level, often destroying an entire garden bed in a single night. Proactive Rabbit Control is the most effective way to protect your landscape from such rapid feeding. When you choose ohDEER of Central VA, you work with experts who know local feeding habits.
When you choose ohDEER, you’re choosing:
If you’re not sure whether the damage you’re seeing was caused by rabbits or deer, the signs can be subtle. Feeding height, bite patterns, and leftover plant material all tell a story.
Small garden beds or suburban yards? Our Spring/Summer Control may be all you need.
Larger landscapes, heavy traffic, or year-round browsing? Annual Control is your safest bet for continuous protection. Here’s how ohDEER protects your landscape from rabbits throughout the year.
ohDEER’s Rabbit Spring/Summer treatment protects your perennials and budding flowers throughout the spring and summer.
We apply an all-natural deterrent that keeps rabbits from clipping blooms, stems, and new plant growth.
Every three weeks, spring–summer
Fall/Winter Control helps deter rabbits during months when natural food sources run low and browsing activity increases.
This program will keep rabbits away from your winter garden and beautiful shrubs during the colder months.
Every three weeks, fall–winter
Rabbits don’t follow a calendar — and often browse more through mild winters.
Annual Control provides uninterrupted protection for your landscape, combining all Spring/Summer and Fall/Winter applications into a single, year-round plan for the best protection.
Every three weeks, year-round
Our Central Virginia eco-friendly Rabbit Control uses botanical deterrents to strip your yard of its “food source” status. The spray is harmless to rabbits but creates an offensive scent and taste barrier that encourages them to forage in the woods instead of your yard.
We apply a safe, plant-based formula that sticks to foliage and stems, crafted from botanical elements that make your azaleas taste extremely bitter. We alternate these specific compounds so the persistent Virginia rabbits never grow comfortable with the deterrent.
We don’t believe in hiding behind hard-to-pronounce chemicals — or using them in our products!.
Deer and rabbits feed at different heights. Deer Control helps protect higher foliage, while Rabbit Control focuses on preventing low-level stem and bark damage. Together, they provide more complete, natural protection for your landscape.
No. We use plant-safe, natural products, applied by trained technicians exactly where rabbits feed. Your plants will stay protected and thriving.
Most customers notice reduced rabbit damage within a few weeks of our first application and see even better results after multiple Rabbit Control applications every three weeks.
You can try a DIY rabbit repellent, but results vary. Effective Rabbit Control requires precise product placement, timing, and frequency. Our technicians adjust applications for weather, irrigation, and plant growth so your rabbit protection stays reliable and natural.
Yes, rabbits stay active all year. In winter, they often chew bark and lower stems, especially when lush greens and perennials are scarce. As snow builds up, rabbits can actually stand on top of it and reach higher bark and stems. Consistent, year-round Rabbit Control is the best way to protect your plants and shrubs from rabbit damage.
Light nibbling can still happen after our rabbit control solution is applied. The goal is to prevent serious or repeated rabbit damage by keeping a consistent layer of protection on your plants. Over time, this reduced feeding will help your plants stay healthy and will allow them to grow.
Cottontail rabbits can have up to 7 litters per year, with each litter containing up to 12 babies. Once you find one rabbit in your yard, they multiply fast!
