Animal Problems
Gophers, Moles, Mice
Gophers love to eat tulips. For control of rodents check with your local master gardeners. Moles don’t usually eat tulip bulbs unless the bulb is trying to rot and has bugs. For control of rodents check with your local master gardeners. Mice will use the runways of the gophers and moles to damage your bulbs. For control of rodents check with your local master gardeners. To keep animals like moles away plant bulbs distasteful to rodents such as daffodils, alliums or fritillaries. Smells such as castor oil, coffee grounds, or used kitty litter placed at the entrances of mole tunnels near your flower beds will keep moles from invading your flowers. Another way to keep these rodents away from your bulbs is to plant in containers. These containers can be above ground or small “mesh/wire” containers in the ground.
