What Can I Use To Discourage An Animal From Digging Up And Eating The Crocosmia Bulbs?

I got some Crocosmia bulbs to be planted which I did. There is an animal during the night that digs the bulbs up and eats them. What can I put down to discourage this animal? Can I sprinkle pepper on the ground or something else that will discourage it from digging up and nibbling the bulbs.
