eat tulip,daffodil,hyancinths bulbs ?

For about 2 weeks now we have a skunk right outside of our kitchen windows eating birdseeds.
But I have alot of springbulbs out there,also several peonies and 12 daylilies.

I have read that they don't eat the bulbs other reports say they do ? what is right ? and if they do eat my bulbs what can I do to deterr them.We have a live trap sitting out there now but if I can use something else to chase him away I will.
Any ideas ?
Thank you.
PS:we caught 49 squirrels in the live traps and relocated them.....we have MORE now that we live in the city than when we lived on the farm.
