Marigolds-Do they control rabbits in and around gardens and property?

No they don't--in fact I've had rabbits eat my marigolds. Go to a Lawn %26amp; Garden center and buy some Liquid Fence. It's one of the best rabbit repellents around. Spray the plants they are bothering. Once they get past a certain size the rabbits will leave them alone and you can stop protecting them.





By the way marigolds do have a repellent effect on certain insects.

planting marigolds to repel animals is a myth. I've found hair (human, cat, or dog) and put in small mesh bags and placed around my garden with just enough dirt to hold them down works pretty well.
Reply:can't say I have ever heard of them as a rabbit repellent. I always plant them in %26amp; around my veg garden to attract the bees needed for pollination
Reply:I do not know about that but my mother grew prize roses and would plant marigolds around them to keep the dogs from going to the bathroom on them. It really works because the dogs do not like the smell..
