I recently saw predator decoys at a local senior community, which I was told were to deter geese that had been making the area into a guano farm.

I looked up "predator decoy" on the web, and see that one can get either 2D or 3D replicas of foxes and coyotes, as well as the wobbly-headed great horned owls that one finds on the shelves at Agway.

I don't have geese, but do have a family of woodchucks and some rabbits that are decimating my hummingbird/butterfly garden in particular. The pepper-based spray doesn't seem to be much of a deterrent. (Read in an old post that woodchucks love jalapenos, so maybe I'm just making up some salsa for them.) May be having a bit better luck with fox urine. But I'm wondering if it's worth investing in a fox decoy.

Anyone tried decoys with woodchucks or rabbits?
