Some people lay chicken wire over a garden containing bulbs for the fall and winter. Another possibility is bird netting held down with bricks, then covered with straw. Blood meal has also been useful. Or you could stick with daffodils and allium bulbs - squirrels don't like them.

How so you keep squirrels away from bulbs?
Try a product called Liquid Fence, in a spray bottle available at hardware stores. It's about $15. The label says it's designed to repel deer and rabbits, but I find it works for squirrels too. You need to spray it into the holes where you plant the bulbs, on the bulbs themselves in the hole after you drop them in and before you bury them, and then on top of the area once it's filled in. Respray on top every couple days for the first week or so, then once a week. While not impervious like chicken wire or hardware cloth, it's much more convenient. PS. this stuff REALLY STINKS (it should also say "human repellent" on the label), but it works.
