Two thoughts:
If there is any chance that the rodents are eating your bulbs strictly as
a source of water, perhaps put out a nice tray of water (or birdbath) and
see if it helps. Animals typically take the easiest way out
For areas that are completely under one's control (garage, fenced yard,
greenhouse) just keep a generous dish of something like Ramik bait filled
at all times and let the varmints enjoy it. Oatmeal mixed with various
suitable toxins, or peanut butter and castor beans are another option.
If you are willing to put out a mouse trap, then recognize that all
nuisance animals have no more or less claim on your sympathy. They are all
cute, fuzzy, and completely destructive, and there is no shortage of them
in the environment.
It's a fool's errand to try to outsmart animals that have nothing else to
do all day than try to get at food. Even though many of us are nominally
retired, we have better uses of our time!
Bob Zone 7, where we have a rare white Christmas! Spent yesterday in
a cold rain getting the rest of my potted Eucomis buried under straw. They
are predicting 13 tonight, but I'll believe it when I see it.
