A neighbor of the in-laws, swears that putting blood meal on his tulips/daffidils in the fall, kept the squirrels and rabbits from eating the leaves in the spring.
I'm doubtful... any comments?

A friend of mine places blood meal in the flower beds to repel amadillos, however she does not use it before company is expected due to the smell. Does a heck of a job on Armadillos and people.

Might work very well. Also one could try meat and bone meal as that has a very strong animal and or carcass type odor to it also. Both should make very high quality but not cheap fertilizer to boot. I have several dairy farmers that buy both of these protein sources and they are roughly $300 to $500 per ton. If a farmer would sell you some of his protein mix with lots of blood and or bone meal in it, try it out. You should be able to get 20 lbs from him for say about 5-8 bucks. Cheap way to find out and also fertilizer value. It will attract canines however, but then they bring fertilizer with them too. LOL.
