I found a site that says you can try repellants but don't count on them
working. They suggest wire mesh, like chicken wire, and it should
extend 3 feet from the site where the bulbs are. The mesh needs to be
large enough for the plant to grow through, but small enough to keep
rodents from getting through, and those critters can get through a small
opening.
