DENVER — As cute as they are, when hundreds of rabbits invade a parking lot, they can cause some serious problems for travelers.

The fluffy bunnies have invaded the parking lot of Denver International Airport, likely seeking the warmth of the cars there after they have parked. The problem is, they also seem to have a taste for a car's wires.

"They like to chew on the insulator portion of the ignition cables. That's what we see," local mechanic Wiley Faris told KCNC.

Depending on where they chew through, their munching could result in thousands of dollars in damage to a vehicle. DIA and local wildlife officials are doing what they can, removing over 100 rabbits a month from the area. But, as one might imagine, the rabbits keep coming.

"It's hard to get rid of the bunnies but we're going to try as many natural things as possible," said a local parking employee.

Habitat will help preserve rural airports, Utah prairie dog

As part of an ongoing effort to preserve habitat for Utah prairie dogs yet offset their impacts to rural airports, 800 acres of school trust lands property will be sold to The Nature Conservancy.

Simply removing the rabbits hasn't worked, so some people are stepping up the battle of the bunnies with chemical warfare. Fox urine, common among hunters, can deter the rabbits, and mechanics have been suggesting that travelers coat their wires with the stuff.

Airport parking officials are also planning on bringing in some airborne fighters in the form of raptors like eagles and hawks. They intend to build nearby perches for the predators, who love to feast on rabbits.

The airport and the city have stated they are not responsible for damage while in the airport parking lot, meaning that travelers who have been the victim of a bunny bite are on their own in paying for the costs of repairs. But they also say they rarely get claims on the damage.

"We have 53 square miles of land," Airport spokesperson Laura Coale told the Los Angeles Times. "We had 4.3 million parking transactions in 2012, and we only received three claims. People are not coming to us. They go to the newspaper and say their damage happened here. Why here, versus any other place in Colorado?"
