Grey squirrels are around my house. Everytime I plant tulips, or other spring bulbs, the squirrels dig them up and eat them.

    At this point try putting screening in-between the bulbs and cover with mulch,then try blood meal,hot pepper garlic

    Thanks for the suggestions. I will try them out and see which will work best. Looking forward to making the squirrels stay away from my flowers.!

    Try CAYENNE PEPPER or even PEPPER SEEDS, I doubt they would keep coming back.....you probably could even try crushed up egg shells all around your plants.....most animals doesn't like to walk in them....and they won't hurt your plants, egg shells are good for the garden, flowers, anything in the soil......
