- 1/2 cup Linseed oil

Instructions
Pour 1/2 cup linseed oil into a small spray bottle. You can purchase linseed oil from most natural grocers. If you have purchased Bitter small animal deterrent spray from a pet store, skip to Step 4.
Pour 2 tablespoons of blood meal into the linseed oil. Blood meal can be purchased from gardening stores.
Screw the lid tightly onto the small spray bottle and shake until thoroughly mixed.
Consult your car's user manual to locate a strong point on the frame that will support the car's weight and the exposed brake lines on the underside of your car. This is different for each type of car.
Place a car jack beneath the strong point of the frame. Lift the car up so there is enough space to access the brake lines.
Lie beneath your car and spray an even coating of the deterrent onto your brake lines. According to Marinell Harriman, author of "House Rabbit Handbook," either mixture is distasteful to rabbits.
Re-apply the spray once a week for continued chewing deterrence.
