Yes, Ivory is a brand name. Is is relatively cheap in the U.S. Perhaps you could buy it online.

I have kangaroos and possums who devour everything I plant! I would like to try the soap suggestion but have not heard of Ivory soap in Australia. Is Ivory a brand name – could you let me know what type of soap it is so I can source something similar where I live?

I tried moth balls to deter rodents only with blackbirds showing up using the mothballs like soap to take a bath…ordered the pepper spray to have the postal system damage the box, yuk! and now my resort will be make some type of lift off cages/the hair helped in some pots with seedlings I have…

We have a similar issue but with ferrel cats, not rabbits. They seemed to like our urban garden beds to um..relieve themselves and we couldn’t keep them away. Finally we bought some cayenne pepper and that seemed to help do the trick. They still wander around the area but they are less inclined to use our garden as a restroom which is quite comforting considering we want our food to be edible!
