I read somewhere that putting wire meshing just under the surface of the
soil can help.

This may sound a bit thick but how do the squirrels know where you've
planted the bulbs? Do they spot the newly disturbed earth? can they smell
them? or do they notice me planting them?
I can never catch them at it either and I'm becoming obsessed that the
little blighters are stalking me. We have masses of them that leap about
like acrobats in my maple tree every morning...very cute but becoming less
so as they feast on my bulbs!
