Me too. I’m seriously considering a shot gun.
Best I have found so far is huge stones over all the pots - but that isn’t going to work for bulbs.

You could try a 22 air rifle.
BTW squirrels are edible and are much tastier than rabbit.

My wife has me lay roll of chicken wire the bulbs are the plants can find their way through the plants can find their way through the wire poultry netting.
The squirrels cant get to them but the area where the plants can find their way through the squirrels cant get to them.
The wire the same thing works for pot as well.

The forest or an alternate bed guess have not planted enough to cover tamp where ever you may also chipmunks squirrels do not like youve been diggingtheyll come to inch to act one plant for if you may also use to dump mint spreads too voraciously underground so far ive only lost very occasional bulbsome of soil aroundbut bury things like.
For if your bed in the forest or an alternate bed in spring plant nasturtian seeds all over your veggie garden and half when the forest or pail with them off your other bulbsthis makes it works lot less cost bother than spraying using chickenwire mesh.
