Rabbits under my concrete porch. Best eviction notice ?

Rabbits have burrowed under my concrete front porch and need to vacate. I could nuke em with various methods but am afraid of rotting bunny stench after. Any proven method of delivering an eviction notice and keep them from coming back . The dig the dirt and rocks away to get under there. Really don't want a huge project on my hands. just get them out and keep them from coming back and nesting there. I have granulated timber wolf pee that I use for yotes. Maybe that would work in the bunny living are. Don't ask how I collected the wolf pee. It was tricky. Lol. Always like to ask here as their are always informative and fun remedies. The smell of decaying bunnies is my main concern. Don't feel bad with their demise. Also, my pellet gun does a great job on the ones that I can get. The porch dwellers are tough.

Pack of Beagles.

I use peppermint oil to evacuate field mice from my mower and such. Pour some on a shop rag and shove it down the hole.

Call Wile E. Coyote at ACME. He likely has a broad range of solutions including TNT, rockets, and anvils. 1-800-Yii-ikes

Moth Balls. If you have dogs, they rabbits will end up like the ones we have. DEAD once they flushed.

Live traps just outside the entrances

Fire.

I was thinking the same thing. Catch a big bull snake and let him go down the hole. He'll clean'em out.

I had the same issue with rabbits under my shed. Moth balls worked great to keep them away once they were out but they smell awful and might not be good right next to the house. Could always try it and see. I ended up blocking off all around the shed except for one entrance/exit. I funneled with bricks and rock into a live trap. The big ones are smart and would step over the middle that trips the cage some how. I ended up making little wood planks with shims on either side of the trip so when they got part way in they couldn't step over without tripping it. The babies walk right in and get trapped. Took about 3 weeks to get the family all trapped and pushed out. Then we buried chicken wire into the ground and stapled it to the bottom of the shed to keep them out.

Now any rabbit that comes in my yellow lab snatches up. She has mapped out where they crawl through the fences and will cut them off at the exit as they try to escape. If they slip up and dont make a clean exit she snatches them right up.
Good luck and happy hunting [Tooth]

Ferret was my go to but someone stole it, i have a pellet gun for sale but you already have one....maybe some rattle snakes or even better a honeybadger!

If you're concerned about them being dead and stinking up the place, why not just fill in the hole right away and trap them and their stench inside?

Noodle them out.

Cayenne Pepper.
Bought a big bottle at Costco and applied liberally. Once I saw them gone, I put wire mesh and gravel in the entrance.

Something I would consider if it were me is a hose a funnel and ammonia. Push the hose as far down the hole as possible, put the funnel on the end, pour in the ammonia. Ammonia evaporates so the smell should not hang long. And it should cause them to leave so they don't die in there.

If you want to try live trapping them, I have a couple you can borrow. Then dispatch them with the pellet gun in the trap.

Flood them out with a water hose then block the entrance.

I agree, live trap and relocate, then close the holes. I assume you're in an urban/suburban location. I like having rabbits around but they don't need to nest just anywhere. They like soft dirt to excavate into for nesting, so you could create a place by digging or rototilling soil.
