Here, the only ones I have had in the attic are the Chipmunks and the small
"field mice" that are common around here... I think they are called
voles... so the Chipmunks are low on my list.  I have caught gray squirrels
trying to get into the attic a time or two but, as the eves are brick they
have yet to get in (knock on wood).

The starlings are more common "attemptors" but have also yet to be
successful (another knock on wood!).
