Tried it, both liquid and the granule stuff. The squirrels/ rabbits were like, "Thank you for the seasoning" and went ahead and ate the stuff anyway. Or they waited for the next rainstorm or after I watered. Whatever the case it didn't work, even after a day of use. I also used cinnamon, both powdered and oil form. That helped with some success. At least until either it rained or the stuff wore off. But being too expensive to apply on a regular basis, didn't help. (But I'll add specifically for this topic, the powdered form of cinnamon did not do anything for bulb planting.) But so far the trick I did mixing like thai hot pepper garlic + Habanero seeds + neem oil and rubbing on/ soaking on approx.. 41 daffodil bulbs seems to be helping. I left one half rotted bulb out with said treatment just to allow them to try one. That one was tried and shredded, but very few others have been dug up since then. But it remains to be seen if it will work in the long run.

Or skunks. Any of the above can be guilty of digging in lawns. Squirrels are hiding things for winter. Skunks are going after grubs or worms. Raccoons just dig for the heck of it sometimes, but also to feed. On the down side, it causes some damage. On the up side, it means you have a healthy enough locale that they're comfortable poking around and happy.

Hey look at this talk at Weston Nurseries... Saturday, April 22 Got Grubs? John Moretti, Weston Nurseries Horticulturist 10 am Japanese Beetle, Black Turfgrass Ataenius, European Chafer, Green June Beetle, Masked Chafer. International Conference? Not really. These are the types of grubs you may find in your lawn. Some grubs are ok, but if you answer yes to any of the following questions, you may want to put this workshop on your calendar. Are you seeing animal damage to your lawn? Can you "Roll Up" the sod like a carpet? Have you or your neighbors had problems with grubs before? John will tell you how to determine if you have grubs and what to do to eliminate them. Sounds like grubs may be a problem (one's other than the Japanese Beetle kind?) I know nothing about grubs -- I thought they wouldn't be out yet. This may be way off base. Here is a link that might be useful: Weston Nurseries Events
