Rabbits may look harmless, but they can quickly take over your yard. With dependable rabbit control in Portland, Maine, ohDEER helps protect your landscaping using plant-based repellents that reduce feeding damage and keep your outdoor space intact.
In Portland, Maine, rabbits thrive in a mix of urban neighborhoods, wooded areas, and coastal properties. They often nest under decks, sheds, and dense vegetation, feeding on perennials, fresh growth, and bark—putting your landscaping at constant risk.
Rabbits can cause serious damage in a short amount of time. Their ability to clip plants clean at the base means entire garden beds can disappear in just a few nights. Consistent rabbit control in Portland, Maine helps prevent repeated damage and keeps your landscape healthy.

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
If deer are already an issue, adding rabbit control in your Portland, Maine home ensures your entire landscape is covered. Deer browse higher, while rabbits focus on low-growing plants and stems, making both services essential for full protection.
We apply a plant-based repellent that creates an unpleasant taste and scent for rabbits. It doesn’t harm them — it simply makes your plants far less appealing, encouraging them to feed elsewhere.
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!
