Protect Your Bulbs from Burrowing Pests
- Protect your flowering bulbs from burrowing rodents
Voles, mice, and squirrels have a particular fondness for tender spring flower bulbs. You can discourage these pests from dining on your tulips, hyacinths and crocuses by sprinkling in some all-natural Bulb Insurance when you plant. Made from coarsely-ground oyster shells, Bulb Insurance forms a sharp-edged barrier that burrowing rodents will think twice before crossing. To repel pests and promote brilliant color in one easy step, try Bulb Insurance Plus. It's a mixture of ground oyster shells and all-natural fertilizer that we developed with help from some of the nation's leading bulb suppliers.

This saved my bulbs in VA from the squirrels. In WI, I added chicken wire on top as well. It's nice to have both the protection from the rodents and the fertilizer in one application.

Comments about Bulb Insurance:
I spent hours planting spring bulbs in a yard that has squirrels eagerly over-looking my shoulder. I used this product around the bulbs as I planted and also spread over the top of the fresh planting. The next morning some bulbs had been dug up + were laying on the top of the soil -but none had any "teeth" marks on them! I replanted + they have not been touched since. !!! As long as my crazy neighbors insist on feeding these "little rodents", keeping bulbs have been a real issue. I'm so delighted--I think I'll actually have them bloom next spring!!HHOORRRAAAHHHHH!!!!
