GA P: I found this somewhere online.... -Annette Squirrels in my garden digging up my bulbs! help! My suggestions to you would be this. Get some mouse traps. Anchor them solidly to the ground in the area that the squirrels have been digging. Cover them with newspaper paper and sprinkle a little dirt on top. When he comes to dig, he will still set them off. The snap will scare him as well as the dirt getting thrown at him. Once he is scared enough of times he will find another digging area. Please be sure to anchor the traps just incase the wind blows the newspaper off the trap, or he will be hurt walking with the trap on his foot and might not be able to get it off. If the trap is anchored even if the newspaper blows off the squirrel will not be hurt and can pull out of the mouse trap. As for the ultrasonic devices I don't have much experience with them for squirrels although I have heard some work.. We have one for moles which worked for about a month then they came back. Hope this helps Kevin
