I have planted several bulbs but each morning I find them dug up and gone. What can I do to keep the squirels away ?|||Go to the hardware store and buy some hardware cloth, it is heavy gauge screen that has 1/4 to 1/2 inch holes in it. Make a cage for your glad bulbs, about 3 inches high, a few inches wide and also a few long, make the top so you can close it and wire it shut. Build as many as you need.
Dig a trench for the cage, put in a little dirt, then the bulbs, and some more dirt. Close and secure the cage, then cover with dirt or mulch.
Caging bulbs works great for gladiolus, tulips, crocus, and other squirrel treats :]|||The best method of Grey Squirrel control is the Kania Trap 2000. It is effective, humane kill, no re-locating. Place the trap 5-7 feet above the ground on a tree trunk, under eves, or in an attic away from children and non- target species. Best bait is peanut butter, or nuts in their shells.|||lay chicken wire on top of ground. Can have wire slightly higher than ground by putting something like bricks under the wire. Chicken wire has large enough holes for plants to even grow through and allows plenty of sunshine onto dirt. Squirrels, cats, dogs don't like the wire.|||Try this, it worked for me.
