Yeah squirrels love bulbs more than anything else. But I think they do not like garlic and are sensitive to hot pepper.

They ate my Eulophia graminea. Chewed my 2 banana plants shoots. They leave ny orchids alone [except the Eulophia bulb]. They ate my dwarf pomegranate spent blooms so no fruits.

But well that is the way it is. I put some orchids on the roof in a crate with some habanero plants and seems ok...

Moth balls may be toxic/ cancerogenic. Rather blend a bunch of fresh garlic and red fresh frozen habaneros [frozen so the seeds do not germinate allover]

My advice still is: Get a cat, one you can let out early in the AM. I still have the little tree rats but she keeps them on the run. I used to have problems with squirrels but no more. whip:
