Chipmunks will dig up your bulbs and eat them. They will also plant things for themselves for winter storage.

Check with your local garden center for a chipmunk/squirrel repellent.

Here's a couple of ideas that I have in my book from class
  • bloodmeal sprinkled on the soil surface
  • Hot pepper sprays and as a bonus they deter most insect pests
