Another option would always be to have your own dog, a family's or a neighbors to leave a few scent marks in your yard to achieve the same purpose. Sondia,

Fox Urine can work well for many people, and I'm in full support of anything that gets the job done and is easily dissolvable after use. Sparky,

It was suggested not to put "name tags" marking your bulbs but to keep a map of your bulb placements. For some reason squirrels are drawn to the name markers as a place to bury their nuts, and in the process dig up your bulbs. Plus, if you draw a map, you will not use the plastic non biodegradable name markers. Lastly, something doesn't have to be homemade to be "green." I have been studying store bought squirrel repellents and many of them are made from fox urine, the scent of which puts fear in the squirrels, which have a keen sense of smell. Just imho. :) I don’t know where I read this but it was somewhere on the net. It was suggested not to put “name tags” marking your bulbs but to keep a map of your bulb placements.
