Some years back, I planted a couple of dozen tulip bulbs and my (beloved) chipmunks dug down to them and ate each one near immediately! hm...
Then a light"bulb" lit over my head and the thought of sprinkling chili powder (or red pepper powder) onto and around the placed buld before filling came to mind so, I bought a large container of such for next years attempt and it worked like a charm!
Not one bulb loss but, I had a few surprised chipmunks! Every bulb grew with grand success. :)
