The pest control guy set traps and, unfortunately, caught a starling as well as some squirrels. Squirrels are dangerous, as they can gnaw on the wires and start a fire. Birds are harmless (albeit messy). We had squirrels in our attic (behind the walls; we have a finished attic) a few years ago.

You could climb a nearby tree w/ a bb gun and shoot em. You could put those spike things that courthouses have stuck to places they don’t want birds roosting.

Try to secure the area they are entering and add a few mothballs. I would go easy so the smell of the balls does not run you out. I was told by a pest guy that mothballs are the way to go.
