Merms and Bunnymen do not instantly engage each other until one of the Bunnymen get too close to their abandoned shacks. Therefore it is helpful to either place the rabbit hutches as close as possible to the Merms or to make enough hutches to increase the probability of a bunnymen getting aggroed.

Ponds in the swamp are also useful if you lack the means to scavange from making fishing. if you burn the plants that are near them, it should stop the spawning of mosquitos.

Another method of taking advantage of any tightly packed spider dens (2,3 usually) is to plant a lureplant nearby. By using a pitchfork and some playermade flooring, you can easily make a risk free source of monster meat, spider glands, and silk by using the floorboards to make a path towards the meaty bulb. Simply wait around it at dusk where all the spiders would begin to roam and watch as the spiders crawl to their death. After all or most (it should take about 1-2 min if done properly) spiders are dead, destroy the fleshybulb with a spear or spike and the loot will come flying out, though some items will be digested, the digestion rate is about 1 item every 20 seconds or around that. This gives you an easy access of spiders loot with minimal risk. Bird cages are useful this way when you have surplus monster meat to turn into eggs.
