Respectfully, I don't know why you would say that. Bloodmeal is a very effective deterrent against all rodents, as well as deer, racoons, and opossum. They abhor the odor and shy away from any area where it is laid.

That's the difference between you and I. I speak from experience, you're showing your ignorance, especially when you included rodents in your claim.
I recently visited the northeast VA/ DC area to quote a project. I usually visit the local garden shops. Several do carry bloodmeal, some with other ingredients. Seems like it hasn't done much for the rats in that area.

What a pleasant thing to say. Good day to you.
My guess would be squirrels, either trying to bury nuts or trying to find nuts previously buried.
It might be the *mulch* that is desirable -- you might try raking away the mulch from a section of the bed and see what effect that has, if any.
Another possibility is a cat, but I would think if it were using the mulch as a litterbox, you would have found some evidence.

We get a similar result and it's from Blackbirds.
