Rabbit Removal & Control in Indiana

Eastern cottontail rabbits are abundant throughout Indiana and cause significant damage to gardens, landscaping, and young trees. Rabbits are prolific breeders with up to 5 litters per year of 3–8 young each. They are most active at dawn and dusk and feed on vegetables, flowers, bark, and tender shoots. In winter, rabbits can severely damage young trees by girdling — gnawing the bark around the entire circumference, which kills the tree. While rabbits do not typically enter homes, they den under decks, sheds, and dense shrubs. Licensed operators can trap and relocate nuisance rabbits and advise on fencing and exclusion to protect gardens and landscaping from future damage.
