Urgent: How Can I Control Hare (Bush Rabbit) Invasion On Corn Farm? by pragmatistm(m): 11:29pm On Jun 28, 2017
I have a small corn farm planted about a month ago. Still very tender.I have just realized that hares (Bush Rabbit) have been feasting on the tender plants. Many stems have been cut in their prime.

I can't use the local traps for two reasons. One is that chickens from the neighborhood do visit the farm on continuous basis. Two, I can't be checking the trap daily as the farm is far from where I live.

Nairalanders, please help me out.

I'm very sure they are hares. I saw the dungs.

You mentioned poisoning food traps. How is that done? What types of food and traps?
