Some gardeners have placed wire baskets over a small planting of crocus corms and tulip and hyacinth bulbs, while others have covered larger areas with chicken wire or hardware cloth. Others have given up on this tussle with squirrels and planted daffodils which the squirrels do not eat. While feeding squirrels may provide relief, it is ill-advised. Deliberately feeding squirrels will only encourage their population to increase, resulting in further pressure on your plants. If all else fails, population reduction can provide yearly relief from squirrel damage. Before initiating lethal control be sure to consult with local and state regulations available at your state's wildlife agency. Online Sources Squirrel Control Information
