Find a universal means virtually impossible.
Each material has both positive and negative sides. Therefore, to enhance the effect, use such means: poison bait, whitewash, mulch. Can be purchased at any specialty store. By the way, the autumn whitewash save trees from spring burns bark. A mixture with a strong smell prepare independently to take this clay and mullein half, diluted with water to a liquid cream consistency. To impart odor kreolina add 50g per 10 liters of solution.
High fence is more good defense against raids eared
Rabbits are very cautious animals, no wonder they say: hare - a coward. Gardeners use garbage bags, which strongly rustle. To do this, tie the bag to a sapling.
Using as protective material roofing material, must be removed in early spring, with the onset of warm days. Otherwise, the tree trunk can sopret as roofing material does not block the airflow. Black roofing material, so it is heated in air. With increasing temperature cambium wakes, and at lower temperatures (at night), the process stops. Kambia swings do not like such, and as a result of the bark peels off.
