Eyes in the Back of Their Heads

Squirrels have great eyesight and peripheral vision. They can see what is above and beside them without moving their heads. This makes it extremely hard to sneak up on them at any time. We often say that a person "has eyes in the back of their heads," when they knows what we are doing or where we are, without indication. Since squirrels are always aware of what is happening around them, the phrase may apply to them as well.  If you find a squirrel in your home, this ability may make them extremely hard to catch. It can also be dangerous since they could defend themselves, and in addition may carry a disease. To avoid a dangerous situation, call Guardian Wildlife Services. We will remove the squirrel safely and close up any entry they may have used.
