I use blood meal on the soil around the plants they like to munch. It works reasonably well, but my dog goes crazy for it, and I have to keep her on the leash in the backyard to keep her from eating it and the dirt.
I think I've tried hot pepper spray, too. It also works reasonably well. Nothing works forever, so rotating stuff is important. I've even used ground red pepper, but that has to be reapplied whenever it rains and fairly often as a whole. Still, if you get the industrial sized jar and make a habit of bringing it with you when you are wandering by, it can work.
The other day a ginormous rabbit was sitting in the patch of black-eyed susans just munching away. I wanted to say, "Go for it! Those are such prolific self-seeders that they can always use thinning." But I don't speak rabbit. Just scooby. ;)
Good luck.
