Are there any bulbs in particular that squirrels will dig up? I believe
they're particularly fond of crocus? What about daffs, muscari, hyacinth,
snowdrops and the like? Will they dig up everything?

Is there anything that will discourage them from digging bulbs out of the
border?

Thanks

'Fraid I'm not answering your question, Janice, but just letting off steam
cos we had to fork out 20 quid yesterday on a connector as a squirrel had
chewed through the cable to our water feature pump. :O(((( Not just once -
the cable was in several short lengths.

They're little horrors. I was so pleased when a month ago two squirrels
first visited our garden, aaahhhing out of the window when I saw them. But
my delight was over quickly when I saw them digging up my newly-planted and
expensive bulbs!

Tell me about it! Couldn't believe it when a number of my new
crocus blooms popped up in the middle of the lawn.

What makes it worse is that my neighbour leaves out piles of nuts
for them :-(

Doesn't that mean they sit still for a little longer than normal?

tasted pretty bad but he was hungry so he ate it all."

Get a trap from Mole Valley Farmers and kill the beggars, that is the
ONLY certain way to stop them digging up bulbs!
