Seems we have a mole problem!!

I created a new flowerbed 2 weeks ago and something has decided to snack on my Asiatic Lily's from underground. The entire property was treated (weed/feed/insect control) a week prior to the flower bed install.
Guess my chances of seeing the gladiola bulbs I planted emerge might be slim also.
Any suggestions? Relocation of the critter is not an option at this time. Thank you.

You can try spraying castor oil as a deterrant.

Quite often moles are there to eat grubs that are in your soil. Get a grub killed h the moles should leave. It could also be squirrels eating the bulbs thru the winter.
Thanks! We treated for grubs 2 weeks prior to planting a brand new bed. all bulbs and plants have been in about 10 days. Maybe I will have to treat again.
